ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 98-0617 (JULY 27, 1998) AND 98-0627 (JULY 28,1998)
PROVIDED THE PROGRAMMING SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE NEW ABI RECONCILIATION
SUMMARY TRANSACTION. THESE SPECIFICATIONS MAY BE FOUND ON THE CEBB AND
VIA THE U.S. CUSTOMS WEBSITE AT WWW.CUSTOMS.USTREAS.GOV, AND THE CEBB
FILE NAMES ARE T-RECON1.EXE (COMPRESSED EXECUTABLE WP6.1 FORMAT) AND
T-RECON2.TXT (ASCII TEXT FORMAT).
WE WISH TO ADVISE YOU THAT CHANGES HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE TO THE CUSTOMS
DAILY STATEMENT. THESE CHANGES UTILIZE FIELDS ON THE 'QB', 'Q4', AND 'Q6'
OUTPUT RECORDS FOR INTEREST AMOUNTS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A FIELD IN EACH
OF THESE RECORDS FOR "INTEREST AMOUNT FOR MONTHLY CONSOLIDATED RELEASES".
THESE FIELDS ARE CURRENTLY UNUSED AND WILL BE USED INSTEAD FOR INTEREST
PAYMENTS FOR RECONCILIATION SUMMARIES.
IF THE RECONCILIATION TRANSACTION RESULTS IN ANY INTEREST AMOUNT BEING
DUE AND PAYABLE AT RECONCILIATION SUMMARY, THESE FIELDS WILL BE USED TO
DISPLAY SAID AMOUNTS ON THE DAILY STATEMENT. ZERO AMOUNTS WOULD BE ZERO-
FILLED AS THEY CURRENTLY ARE.
PLEASE RE-DEFINE POSITIONS 19-26 OF THE 'QB' OUTPUT RECORD AS "INTEREST
AMOUNT FOR RECONCILIATION SUMMARY". FOR THE 'Q4' AND 'Q6' RECORDS, PLEASE
RE-DEFINE POSITIONS 21-31 OF EACH RECORD AS "TOTAL INTEREST AMOUNT FOR
RECONCILIATION SUMMARIES."
QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO ME AT
703-921-7128.
