CABS VERSION 54 ENHANCEMENTSMike Carson

When processing 0000 CIC usage, CDG uses the OCN as the CIC

To identify this usage, CDG converts the first digit to an alpha character

0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, etc.

OCN of 6117 becomes CIC G117

ALPHANUMERIC OCN PROCESSING

3www.cdg.ws

Newly assigned OCNs may have an alpha character in the first position

To identify this usage, CDG has updated our OCN processing

If the first byte is alpha, change the 4th position to its alpha equivalent

If the first two bytes are alpha, leave the OCN as is

If the OCN is numeric, convert first character to alphaOCN G117 = G11HOCN SN01 = SN01OCN 6117 = G117

Switching this indicator to Y will apply the PPU to local jurisdiction USOCs only

The indicator defaults to N, which means the PPU will be applied to USOCs of all jurisdictions

When the ASPL PPU is less than 100% and the ACKP Apply PIU indicator is set to Y, the PPU will display on the CSR under each USOC
