Overview

Before submitting ASCII text files produced by third-party software or manually produced, you should verify the file formats, record layouts and file names using these specifications.  Verifying the correct format will increase the chances that your files will be accepted.  If a file does not conform to these specifications, the report may be returned or rejected. You will be contacted and asked to correct and re-submit your files. 

Microsoft Windows users can use Option A (as of version 6.1) to verify their files or a legacy version of Option C (replaced by Option A version 6.1).
