Tape Field Position Rule (SRATPFD) page

Use this page to define either the exact positions in which each field exists on a search or test score file or the relative position of each field and then to assign the value in those positions to the appropriate Banner® fields.

This page, in combination with the Electronic Prospect Load (SRTLOAD), the Electronic Prospect Match (SSRSRIN), and the Migrate Electronic Prospects Process (SRRPREL), allows institutions to set up data loads that are not supported by the company, such as AP (Advanced Placement exams) or other search or test score data sets.

This page displays two sets of information. It displays fields for a default positional layout (such as SAT or ACT) or for a sequential layout (such as AMCAS or a comma delimited file). The layout displayed is determined by the tape code entered in the key block. If the tape code has been defined on the Tape File Delimiter Type Rules (SORDLIM) page, then the fields required to define a sequential delimited file will be displayed. If the tape code has not been defined on SORDLIM, then the fields required to define a positional layout will be displayed.
