All
records should have a Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed
(LF) code at the end.
Note:
Placing the actual characters CR and LF are not sufficient.
The ASCII characters for Carriage Return and Line Feed are
required.
Contact your computer support, search the web or call the
South Carolina Association of Counties for assistance.
Copy
the data file to one of these external media devices:
diskette(s) ,CD, JAZ or ZIP drive. The name of the file
doesn’t matter. Be sure to put your Entity name and the
words INITIAL LOAD or ADJUSTMENT on the label, jewel case or
container.
We
will send you an import verification report before we load
your data. Once you reply by email that the file is
correct, it will be loaded. Should we detect any problems
with the layout and/or the actual data, we will contact you
and discuss the necessary revisions. The layout must
be exact, with all fields complete and in the correct
positions. Your Initial Load must include all accounts to be
submitted to DOR. When sending Adjustment files send
only those accounts, which are to be Reduced, Deleted or
Protested. Adds can only be sent in the Initial Load. They
will be omitted if on an Adjustment file.
What
is ASCII ?
ASCII,
pronounced “ask-key” stands for the American Standard
Code for Information Interchange. It
was established to achieve compatibility between various
types of data processing equipment. It is the common code
for microcomputer equipment (personal computers).
UNICODE is a more modern term for a standard interchange
file. It used in many Windows software applications.
CR
(carriage return) - moves the cursor (or print head) all the
way to the left, but does not advance to the next line
LF
(line feed) - moves the cursor (or print head) to a new line |
