On September 7, 2018, FSATECH announced that ED will be sending an update to the message class “MESSAGTB” via the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) to all user mailboxes. If you aren’t aware, this transmission will automatically request, download, and import this new message class table with a user’s next connection to the SAIG network. Once the MESSAGTB file has been imported, the new message class table will be used from that point forward.
Message Classes
ED is adding four new message classes for the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). These message classes will be added to support future reporting of data and will be described in forthcoming communications:
Message Class Description
- ERAPFWOP ER Active Programs Fixed Width
- ERGPFWOP ER Graduated Programs Fixed Width
- AOCOFWOP Aid Overpayment Compliance Rpt Fixed Width
- AOCOCDOP Aid Overpayment Compliance Rpt Comma Delimit
If you do not receive this new message class table file, you can also download the file on the https://fsadownload.ed.gov/) website in the “Software and Associated Documents” section.
