must adhere to the following file specifications:

a single file trailer record. All records are 512 characters in length. Layouts are described in
this tab.
2. All data must be in ASCII format.
3. All data must be in upper case.
4. Required fields must contain valid data. Required fields are indicated in the layouts with
