EDGAR Form TA-1 XML Technical Specification
|
Change | Correct versioning information and details within the "README.TXT" files for TA-1 and TA-2 |
Description | There was a minor error with the information supplied about the <formVersion> tag as described on page 3-4 of the “Form TA-1 XML Technical Specification” document. It indicated that the field has an unlimited maximum length. However, the actual maximum length of the “<formVersion>” tag is 5. |
Change Impact to Filers | Filers who create their own XML files will not be impacted.
Filers that use the EDGARLite Form TA-1 Submission Template must download and utilize the new template. Any attempt to submit a Form TA-1 or its variant with an older template will result in suspension of the filing. |
Form Versioning Information | The TA form versions are based on the versions of the schema and stylesheet version numbers found under “Version:” in the schema file.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- Filename: [name of the schema file] --> <!-- Purpose: [description of the schema] --> <!-- Version: X[2-digit schema version][2-digit stylesheet version] --> The README.txt file and the version of the InfoPath Form should reflect the Schema version as mentioned above. As of Release 9.9, the TA-1 and TA-2 schemas are the same, X0302 (schema version 03, stylesheet version 02). Thus, the README.txt and InfoPath Form versions have been updated to be 3.2.0. |
Change | Correct versioning information and details within the "README.TXT" Files for TA-1 and TA-2 |
Description | There was a minor error with the information supplied about the “<formVersion>” element as described on page 3-4 of the “Form TA-2 XML Technical Specification” document. It indicated that this element has an unlimited maximum length. However, the actual maximum length of the “<formVersion>” element is 5. |
Change | TA-2 Question #5 to Accept Fractional Values |
Description | The Form TA-2 will now allow the filers to input decimal numbers for the following fields of the Question 5(d): 5(d)(i) Corporate Equity Securities, 5(d)(ii) Corporate Debt Securities, 5(d)(iii) Open-Ended Investment Company Securities, 5(d)(iv) Limited Partnership Securities, 5(d)(v) Municipal Debt Securities and 5(d)(vi) Other Securities |
XML Change # | 1 |
XML Change Type | Element type change and update to minimum and maximum values. The included example files have been updated to use fractional values. |
XML Change Description | Change the PERCENTAGE_TYPE restriction from integer to decimal. Update the “minInclusive” and “maxInclusive” values to reflect the change in type, i.e. 0.00 and 100.00. This can be seen on pages 3-5 and 3-6 of the “Form TA-2 XML Technical Specification” document. |
XML Stylesheet Change | N/A |
XML Change Uses | The following XML elements of the “serviceCompanyData” -> “securityHolderAccounts” node utilize the “PERCENTAGE_TYPE” to validate their values: “equitySecurity”, “debtSecurity”, “openEndInvestmentCompany”, “limitedPartnership”, “municipalDebt”, “Other”. This is denoted on pages 3-5 and 3-6 of the “Form TA-2 XML Technical Specification” document. |
XML Change Impact to Filers | Filers who create their own XML files based on the new schema will not be impacted. They can simply begin to represent the new values with fractional amounts. Filer generated submissions that do not have fractional representations of the values will be accepted as usual.
Filers that use the EDGARLite Form TA-2 Submission Template must download and utilize the new template. Any attempt to submit a Form TA-2 or its variant with an older template will result in suspension of the filing. |
