Create File FRA page

Enter the following information on the run control page:

  • Select an Extraction ID

  • Select a test indicator, Test or Real.

  • Select the DADS-U File field to produce the final DADS-U file.

  • Indicate the path to the location of the generated file.

  • Select the Descriptive Report field to produce a PDF report with the generated DADS-U file.
