Structure for Standard comma-delimited file

Data in this format can be imported into the CRIS 123AD419 spreadsheet template, and if exported from a spreadsheet or any other program in this format, funding data can be imported into the CRIS Web forms where it can be checked and submitted to CRIS.

The 123AD419 spreadsheet has 30 columns and each project uses one row. Row 1 is the summary AD-419 (calculated), row 2 is a divider, and row 3 contains column headers. The first column is labeled PROJECT NUMBER, the second, ACCESSION, and the next 24 are the line item numbers for all rows on the AD-419 except the rows that relate to totals (fields 231, 233, 234, 332, and 350). The last 3 colums are calculated subtotals.

The original CRIS spreadsheet template ASSUMED that the staff effort line items are entered as effort * 10 (so that no decimal is entered). Since most users have been entering the decimal despite these instructions, we are now departing from the manual instruction on this. Line items 241-244 are no longer 10 times the actual when placed in or read from the comma-delimited file.

The comma-delimited data file should contain only the individual project data on rows 4 - last project and only columns A through Z. The comma- delimited file looks like this:

"CONH-123456","1234567",10000,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1.0,,
"CONH-123457","1234568",20000,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1.0,2.0,
etc.

Structure for CRIS "tape format" files

Data in this format can be imported directly into CRISFRMS or the Web forms. If your site has been submitting AD-419 data to CRIS electronically but not using a spreadsheet, this is the format that has been used for many years.

Note that line items 241-244 are entered as 10 times the actual so that no decimal points are included in the data file. All data placed in or read from a .tap file are assumed to be 10 times the actual effort entered.
