TACRAO and TX-SPEED. Good news. TEA informs me that the revised
coding went into place at 6 PM Tuesday evening, so most TREx
transcripts you receive henceforth should not have that problem (of
Quick and Easy software not printing courses).<br>
<br>
TEA has notified high schools that they ought to resend transcripts
from the affected date range. That may or may not happen. You may
use the contact info on the transcript to contact the high school
and request a retransmission if you'd like, or you may edit the EDI
file as described below, and the print should be correct.<br>
<br>
And Nancy, yes, there is a Santa Claus. You do not need to upgrade
your QnE version because of this.<br>
<br>
All for now. Happy holidays everyone. Dave<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">TACRAO (and also TX-SPEED): Here's a follow-up
to my earlier message. Thanks to quick diagnostic work by Glenn
Shelton and James Maness at TEA and Stephan Baley and Tom Yu at UT
Austin, the problem has been isolated.<br>
<br>
The problem affected the print from the (free) Quick and Easy
software. It may or may not have affected other print or load
programs. The gist of the problem was that a code identifying
these as high school transcripts (district to postsecondary) was
missing from the Educational Purpose Record (ERP). In the EDI
file for TREx transcripts, the record segments would have ISA and
GS for the envelope, then ST, BGN, ERP, and REF. Before the new
release was put in at 6 PM December 6, the ERP segment should have
looked like ERP*DP*~ (you might have specified different
delimiters than the * and ~, but the codes are the same). After
the conversion, it was just ERP**~.<br>
<br>
TEA will get the problem corrected. I don't know whether the
contractors for TREx can correct and re-transmit the affected
transcripts. TEA may have to ask the high schools to re-request
them, and that could be hit or miss. I found that I could use
Notepad to edit the delimited EDI file and insert the DP code, and
save the file. Q&E then produced the desired printout,
including the courses. Or put another way, Courses, not foiled
again.<br>
<br>
Have a great holiday. <br>

Good morning, TACRAO. A new release of TREx was implemented at 6 PM
on December 6. The TREx transcripts I received which were produced
after that time did not yield any printed course records when I ran
them through Q&E, although the EDI files did have CRS records.
TEA is investigating. Please stay tuned. Dave Stones <br>
