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 ‘l’: All transaction types for this release will use a transaction code of ‘99’ and the
extended transaction code (misc FID ‘l’: lowercase ‘L’) will be used for the actual transaction.
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
