Formatting the Trailer Record
You must include all of the following fields in the trailer record for each data file. All fields are required.
| # | Variable | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Record Type | Indicates the type of record. Must be the first field in the record. Enter T1 for the trailer record. |
| 2 | Total Record Count | The total number of records in the file, including the header, column header, and trailer records (number of detail records + 3). For example, if you submit 60 detail records in a data file, the Total Record Count for that file would be 63. |
| 3 | Filler Field | Leave blank. |
