Subject: Looking at Drawback Responses



Claudia - 
Here is a way you can look at "stuff".  
>From your menu you can get to the Main ABI menu, then to the 
transmit menu.  (There are probably other ways you can get 
here.  It is where you can look at Admin messages, etc.).  On 
the transmit menu enter DII as the option.  This displays a 
SPOOL directory that holds unprocessed data to and from 
Customs.  The first 2 characters of the file name tell you what 
kind of file it is.  You can look at the CATAIR for full 
information but the stuff you are currently interested in 
(Drawback) is JJ for going to Customs and JL for Customs 
response.

The File name is XXBBBPPPPDDDDDDSSS where:
XX is the 2 letter code. BBB is your broker code PPPP is the 
port number DDDDDD is the date and SSS is a sequence number.

You can use F9 to expand and look at the actual records. 
This is quite a powerful program since you can actually edit 
data at this point and manually override data going to Customs. 
 
If you do not have a copy of the CATAIR you should try to get 
one.  You will find it most helpful.
