5 RECORD LAYOUTS
As we have seen in the following sections the monthly contribution contains both a Subject Data
file and a Contract Data file. We will examine each in turn.
Please refer to section 3.6 for the technical rules of completing the fields.
5.1 SUBJECT DATA FILE
The Subject Data File is a continuous, space delimited .txt file that has between 2 and 9.999.999
rows of information.
The first row (and only the first row) will ALWAYS be the Header. Please refer to table 5.1.1 for
the rules to fill the header row.
The last row (and only the last row) will ALWAYS be the Footer. Please refer to Annex 5.1.1 for
the rules to fill the footer row.
In between the header and the footer, there will be a varying number of lines, each carrying
different sets of information.
ALL rows (including the Header and the Footer) will ALWAYS be 1100
characters long, but the composition of each row depends on the type
of information that is being provided in that particular line.
Specifically, the type of information that the Subject Data file provides
are the following:
• 0 to “n” rows of 1100 chars each of identification information of
Individuals as well as
• 0 to “n” rows of 1100 chars each of identification information of
Sole Proprietorships as well as
• 0 to “n” rows of 1100 chars each of identification information of
Companies as well as
• 0 to “n” rows of 1100 chars each of information that links
specific individuals to specific companies as owners
Depending on which of the above information a particular row contains,
different rules must be used to fill out such row. Therefore if a
particular row contains Individual information, for example, the
instruction provided in “Body for Record Type: Personal Data” of 5.1.1
need to be followed. Conversely if the information in the row is a link
between owners and companies, the row must be filled out according to the rules in “Body for
Record Type: Company-Shareholders”.
While all rows will be 1100 characters long, each section will have a specific number of
characters (for example 23 in header, 691 in Body for Record Type: Personal Data) that are
data, and the difference from that number and 1100 that are simply spaces that make up a
“Filler”.
In any row, the first character will always be the “Record Type”. This allows the System to know
what format to expect in the specific row. In our examples above, the row that contained data on
