ERROR IN EDE TRANSFER AT BEGINNING OF AWARD YEAR

 

 

PROBLEM:

 

I’ve tried to “receive” a file from edexpress and place it into poise and I got the following message.

 

C-Kermit server done

 %RENAME-I-RENAMED, SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AID_TAMMY]EXPORT.FIL;1 renamed to SYS$SYSDEVIC

E:[AID_TAMMY]04EXPORT.FIL;1

?Can't find file or account - Data file SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AID_TAMMY]COMMON_FILE.DTA

Finished    02:18 PM

 

SOLUTION:

 

In the EDE_LAYOUT05 file there is a record with a key of ".SSN" (the period is significant).  Change the field called .FILE1 to say 'ISIR' instead of 'COMMON_FILE'.

 

EXAMPLE:

 

$ sd users2:[finaid.ede.files]
$ dir EDE_LAYOUT05*

EDE_LAYOUT05.DSC;1  EDE_LAYOUT05.DTA;1
EDE_LAYOUT05.KEY;1  EDE_LAYOUT05.SCN;1  EDE_LAYOUT05_EDE.FMT;1
