This release corrects data affected by the ADD Load process when ISIR NSLDS data was initially received in a left-justified, leading-zero-suppressed format and later received in a leading-zero-filled format. The inconsistent formatting resulted in discrepancies within the WF-NSLDS-2627 (and WF-NSLDS-2526) files.
Some examples of data to be converted:
"0 " -> "000000" " 0" -> "000000" "27310 " -> "027310" "2310 " -> "002310"
The delivered correction programs examine the affected fields and adjust the stored values, as needed, to match the current leading-zero-filled delivery format. This ensures that the NSLDS display programs present the data accurately and consistently.
Note: The ISIR NSLDS fields within FINANCIER contain the delivered values, however not in a consistent format. A conversion program for aid years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 are included to correct previously loaded NSLDS data.
This item is required at all client sites.
Load the updated modules from the SYSOBJH input file (sy260701.txt) in the attached zip file. Or, you may apply source changes manually for the updated modules. Click on the "mods" link next to the module name for the Differences Report, which shows the previous and current versions of the module side by side. For a further description of the Differences features, click the "Help" link at the top right when the report is displayed.
While the modules above should ensure that all newly loaded ISIRs (for both batch and online) store the NSLDS data in a consistent order, the delivered conversion programs should also be run to correct the NSLDS data previosuly loaded.
The majority of the affected fields are 6-byte numeric fields that were expanded to 15-byte fields in the ISIR format. During testing, it was discovered that six fields introduced in the initial OBBBA modification release and subsequently addressed in Release 2605-02 also require correction. These fields were originally delivered using the pre-OBBBA NSLDS layout rather than the updated format. (This only affects the 2026-2027 Aid Year.)
We do not believe this issue impacted production data. However, the correction has been incorporated into the fix program to ensure that any affected test data is updated to the proper format.
There are two year specific programs delivered:
There are two work files used by the conversion programs, both (work file 1 and work file 2) are 105 bytes long. If you are using JCL, it is suggested that you delete and define the work files before every run.
Each program takes the same input parameters and are similar to the traditional input parms used throught FINANCIER:
INPUT statement: 000575 INPUT(AD=MITL'_' SG=ON IP=OFF ZP=OFF) 000580 'Aid Year:' #INPUT-AID-YEAR / 000585 'Term:' #INPUT-TERM / 000590 'FAO:' #INPUT-FAO / 000595 'Run Mode:' #INPUT-RUNMODE / 000600 'Effective Date:' #INPUT-EFF-DATE / 000605 'Report Zeroes:' #INPUT-REPORT-ZEROS / 000610 'Report N/A:' #INPUT-REPORT-NA /
Note: There are two extra input parameters as the report for the conversion program may get large:
'Report Zeroes:' - Y/N/(blank) 'Y' - show all 0 values if they are being converted: "0 " -> "000000" 'N/blank' - do NOT show all 0 values if they are being converted 'Report N/A:' - Y/N/(blank) 'Y' - show all N/A values if they are being converted: " N/A " -> "N/A " 'N/blank' - do NOT show all N/A values if they are being converted
Note: A sample of the conversion program reports with ALL optional parameters set:
