Format
1.
|
Record Type: G99 - This record
is used to transfer data not specifically detailed in the three approved FASTER
formats (Interdistrict, Secondary, or Postsecondary).
The sending and receiving institutions must define the data to be sent in columns
4 through 1011. Note that columns 1-3 must be 'G99' and data found in columns 1012-1020
will be ignored.
|
2.
|
The presence of LOW-VALUES
in data fields causes significant problems for several institutions in the receipt
of student records. A transaction will be rejected if non-displayable characters
are sent in the data unless found in Filler Reserved for Local Use. Please use some
other appropriate character (e.g., SPACES) with which to initialize your records
before sending them.
|
3.
|
Special characters, tilde (~),
caret (^), and grave accent (`), are used as delimiters in the translation of FASTER
to SPEEDE/ExPRESS. They are reserved symbols and as such cannot be included in data
sent through FASTER to a SPEEDE/ExPRESS institution.
