  12. Preparation is everything… when it comes to writing your flat file.

  13. What you need to Create a FLAT ASCII FILE Identify your User Specified Field Populations Obtain the Record Layout Create your File http://ifap.ed.gov/qamodule/guidance.html

  14. Identify your User Specified Field Populations 1. Parent Taxes Paid > 50% of Parent AGI 2. Untaxed Income 3. Academic Competitiveness Grant 4. National SMART Grant

  15. Know your Population

  16. Must Have: H’ Y 250020001 12 School Verification. Flag 9 spaces SSN 10,11NAME ID

  17. Prepare Flat ASCII File1 Field to populate - EASY Note If only one field to populate: Regardless of Field Number, it can follow the Verification Flag. If record not selected for institutional verification– type N

  18. Activity #1 Create a flat ASCII file for the following student: G Test, Julia, 250-02-0003 User-Specified Field:01/N,02/Y,03/N, 04/N 250020003 G Y 02Y Why do we exclude User Specified Fields 01, 03 and 04?

  19. Prepare Flat ASCII File If you have more than one field to populate, it is more complex. Note the following:

  20. Prepare Flat ASCII File Possible Resource: Text Pad

  21. Activity #2 Create a flat ASCII file for the following student: G Test, Julia, 250-02-0003 User-Specified Field:01/N, 02/Y,03/Y, 04/N 250020003 G Y 02Y (Start Field for 03 would be 97 spaces) Why did we exclude 01 and 04?

  22. Upload User-Defined Data via Data Request to Populate User Specified Fields

  23. Uploading User-Defined Data to Populate User Specified FieldsCreate FLAT ASCII FILE

  24. DRIVE your Analysis Identify Institutional Verification Criteria as a User Specified Field and obtain detailed information without having to run ad hoc reports.
