permitted.
R/SF = Required field. Must be populated if present in subscriber’s record otherwise space
fill.
N/SF = Not required field. Space fill.
2. All fields are left justified with trailing spaces.
3. The actual lengths of some fields on the 9-1-1 systems (e.g. Street, Community, Location, et al) are shorter than the NENA-2 defined length and vary by system, which may result in truncation of rightmost data. The most significant information should always be left justified in these and all fields.
4. All alphanumeric (AN) fields may contain upper case letters, numbers and punctuation characters. Lower case and control characters are not permitted.
ASCII characters used in alpha only and alpha/numeric fields should be limited to
A thru Z, a thru z, 0 thru 9, comma ‘, ’,forward slash ‘ / ’, semi colon ‘; ‘, ampersand ‘&’,
and apostrophe ‘ ’ ’.
Spaces are allowed with one exception----the first character of a field may not be a space.
Other characters may impact the accurate processing of data.
Do NOT use the accent mark (for ex. Café) as it will fail data file processing.
