Appendix C

Message Classes
for Electronic Loan Record
Detail Reports

A Title IV WAN message class is a filename that the U.S.

Department of Education (Department) uses to distribute data over
the Title IV WAN network.

At the time this Guide was sent to print, it was unclear if the
Department would be able to provide electronic loan record detail
reports for cohort default rates other than fiscal years (FY) 1998
and FY 1999. However, if the Department is able to provide
electronic loan record detail reports for cohort default rates other
than FY 1998 and FY 1999, this appendix outlines the message
classes associated with those cohort default rates that will be made
available.

The message classes for the electronic loan record detail reports
consist of eight digits.

♦ The first digit identifies whether the data contained in

the file are draft or official cohort default rate data
(i.e., D or O).
♦ The second and third digits indicate that the file
contains default rates (i.e., DR).
♦ The fourth digit indicates whether the file is an extract
or report (i.e., E or R).
♦ The fifth and sixth digits identify the fiscal year
associated with the cohort default rate data contained
in the file (e.g., 99).
♦ The seventh and eighth digits are always OP.

Note report please refer to the “Electronic Loan Record
Detail Report” section beginning on page 57.
