Edit Codes and Descriptions

Introduction
This section provides a table to help you interpret the various edit codes that are used and their related
comments. The information is grouped according to the following column headings:

• Edit Code – the number that is assigned if the edit condition(s) is met. This column also lists
one of the three edit types. They are:

W Warning and/or Corrected

E Rejected

D Duplicate

• Message – the explanation that displays for the prescribed edit condition.

• Condition and Action – a description of the situation that caused the edit and the action taken
either to resolve it and/or to notify the school of the potential error.

• What It Means – further explanation of the message in an effort to make the cause of the edit
clearer.

• How to Fix It – what the user must do to resolve the mistaken condition.

• COD Web Site Edit Code – the edit code that the user will see on the COD web site; web site
edit codes are translated to the Pell Phase-In edit code on the SAIG Acknowledgment files.
The following comparison operators are used in performing these edits:
