Below are two examples of Headers needed for your MSR files.

One for District-based files and one for School-based files.

Copy and Paste one of these into your MSR file just above the 
first student's record.  There should no spaces or lines between
the end of the header and the first student.

Replace the 000 code with your district code.
OR
Replace the 000000 code with your school code.

Replace the xxx with a Date Format code from the list below:

D10 for Birth date format of mm/dd/yyyy  05/20/2001
D8M for Birth date format of mm/dd/yy  05/20/01
D8Y for Birth date format of yy/mm/dd  01/05/20

Replace the * with Gender Format code from the list below:
M
F
01
02

The order of the data elements in the header must match the order of the 
students listed in the file.  DOE003=First Name, DOE004=Middle Name, and 
DOE005=Last Name.  If your district lists Last Name first, First Name next
and Middle Name last then the header must look like this:

DOEHEADER,ELEMENTS=DOE001,DOE005,DOE003,DOE004,DOE006,DOE008,DOE009,DOE014
