A list of debit card transactions which have settled for a given day, containing data specific to debit card transactions. Intended to be paired with the Posted Transaction File for a complete view of the entire transaction detail.
Card Transaction File Definition
This file is created by CorePro on a daily basis. It has the following properties:
- Fixed-length. Header row is 129 bytes excluding line endings. Each content row is 384 bytes excluding line endings.
- ANSI encoded
- Line endings are Windows-style CarriageReturn + LineFeed (
\r\n, or0x0D0A) - File will be available in the relative directory of
/PostedTransaction - File name follows a specific, case-sensitive pattern of:
yyyyMMddhhmm_DEBITCARDTRANSACTION.TXT - Root-relative path on
sftp.corepro.iofor that file would be:/PostedTransaction/201809110304_DEBITCARDTRANSACTION.TXT
Format Disclaimer
Social Money reserves the right to append new field(s) to the end of any Header or Content line without notice. This is to allow new data points to be added as needed in a timely fashion.
Implementation Note
Your code should be written such that unexpected characters after the "last" field but prior to the end of each line should be ignored. That is, if the file is documented as being 872 bytes per line, receiving a file with 984 bytes per line should not disrupt your processing.
This applies to both Header and Content lines.
File Name Disclaimer
The date in file name should be used as a guideline for human eyes only. Any date-related programmatic dependencies should rely on the FileCreatedDate or FileEffectiveDate contained within the header line of each file, as these will be precise to the second and will be in the appropriate timezone.
