Changes to the Communication Specification

The following changes have been made to Triton Standard Communications (Version

TSCD5.26) in order to support the new functionality of this release:

Misc FID ‘ux’:

The following new FID will be utilized (as described in the Triton Terminal Communications

Protocol and message Format Specification) to extend the settlement amount present in the

Host Totals Download Request Message:

When present in the Miscellaneous field of the Host Totals Download Request message, the

value accompanying this FID overrides the value in the Settlement field of the message. As a

result, the value in the 12-digit Settlement field is rendered inconsequential; it should be filled

with spaces.

The basic format for using this hyper-extended settlement FID is as follows:

ux000000123456789

The FID ‘ux’ is followed by 15 ASCII digits and it is zero filled to the left. The fifteen digits,

‘000000123456789’, represent 123,456,789 units of a particular currency. The units always

represent the smallest unit of the currency involved.

Misc FID ‘ul’:

The following new FID will be utilized (as described in the Triton Terminal Communications

Protocol and message Format Specification) to hyperextend the actual dispensed amount

present in the Reversal Request Message:

When present in a miscellaneous field of the Reversal Request Message, the value

accompanying this FID overrides the value in the Amount 3 field of the message. As a result,

the value in the 8-digit Amount 3 field is rendered inconsequential; it should be filled with

spaces.

The basic format for using this hyper-extended amount FID is as follows:

ul000123456789

The FID ‘ul’ is followed by 12 ASCII digits and it is zero filled to the left. The sixteen digits,

‘000123456789’, represent 123,456,789 units of a particular currency. The units always

represent the smallest unit of the currency involved.
