Listed below are important changes to the NSLDS SSCR User's
Guide (February 1996). Please note them.

1. Page 5-28. This section describes the SSCR Error File Header.

The size for the filler should be 295 characters, not 265. There is
no change to the positions listed. It begins in field 66 and extends
to field 360. The overall record size does not change.

2. Page 5-38. This section is to help programmers develop error
checking routines.

The SSCR File Type in the Header Record table has a different
Validation Criteria than what is listed. Replace the contents under
Validation Criteria for SSCR File Type with the following: "For
the SSCR Submittal File, must be R. For the SSCR Error
Correction File, must be E. For ad hoc file must be A."
