Release Notes: Item 1408-01

XML Schema 4.0a

This release item corrects a schema issue involving cancel transactions for 2014-15 Direct loans and TEACH grants.

A canceled disbursement has an X as the canceled disbursement point. The X does not permit the institution's interface to look up the export information that is retrieved by disbursement point. However, as COD does not require the following information for a cancel if the originally transmitted value has not changed, the corresponding tags will now be omitted:

• Special Program tag
• Credential Level tag
• Enrollment Status tag
• CIP Code tag

Previously, blank tags were written out (zero for the numeric Credential Level).

After correction, the exported XML should pass Schema 4.0a validation for both Direct Loans and TEACH grants.
