Hi Experts,
I was wondering how we best achieve the requirement for NACHA files via Electronic Reporting . NACHA files have a “blocking factor” of 10. This means that the total number of lines in a file must be a multiple of 10. If the line count is not divisible by 10, then the file is padded with lines of 9s until it meets this requirement.
For example,
1) If the file has 6 lines we need to pad it with another 4 lines of 9's. File therefore has 10 lines
2) If the file has 10 lines, no padding of 9's is needed - File already has 10 lines
3) If the file has 98 lines we need to pad it with another 2 lines of 9's. File has 100 lines which is a multiple of 10.
Using the standard oob file, no padding is provided when we produce the file.
Any ideas.....
