Release Notes: Item 2211-01

2023-2024 Regulatory Release (File Changes)

This is the first of two release items which comprise the 2023-2024 Regulatory release. This first item concerns the new year-specific file definitions and Dictionary entries required for 2023-2024 Federal processing (including updated comment codes). The accompanying source code changes are issued in release item 2211-02.

Implementation Notes

1. Load the new file definitions from the SYSOBJH file in the attached zip file to PREDICT. These file definitions include layouts for:
   • WF-CPS-2324 (file/userview)
   • WF-CPS-CMP-2324 (userview)
   • WF-FEDERAL-2324 (file/userview)
   • WF-FED-CMP-2324 (userview)
   • WF-ISIR-2324 (file/userview)
   • WF-ISIR-CMP-2324 (userview)
   • WF-NSLDS-2324 (file/userview)
   • WF-NSLDS-CMP-2324 (userview)
   • WF-VERIFY-2324 (file/userview)
   • WF-VER-CMP-2324 (userview)
   • Change file numbers to match your institution's physical file numbers.
   • Generate ADABAS files for the WF-xxxx-2324 files listed above.
   • Generate DDMs for the WF-xxxx-2324 and WF-xxxx-CMP-2324 userviews listed above. You may need to set the Generate Security option to YES for the new files.
   • If NATURAL Security is used, add the new files to NATURAL Security.
   • Link the new files to your FINANCIER library as Update.
   • Load the Dictionary Import file (dc221101.txt) from the zip file into the FINANCIER Dictionary using the Dictionary Import program (WCDICIMB).
   • Manually update the Dictionary to include new year-specific values. (The Dictionary Import will not update the value set for a field that already has one, so these must be entered in the Dictionary manually.)
