CIM900 File Layout

Thanks Semaphore for help so far but I would like to extend a requirement to anyone else who might have the layout to the file received from FNB. Need the layout information (eg:column 50-61 is account number etc) for the file that looks like below:
00015000053 AE HLOAN H/O (CLOSED 99-02-20)STANDARD BANK OF S.A. 0000015 00210001000000DOMEMERGED WITH CSOPC 1999-02-20 000000SOUTH AFRICA 000000 SOUTH AFRICA ENG1Y100ZAR00010000000NY00000000JHBCTNDBNPEL00000000010101010000000311111000000000000000000000704071010109080706050403020100110000004 12010109080706050403020100110000004 13010109080706050403020100110000004 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000NNYY0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000A0N00000000000000000000000000 00000 CYN

Hi

I have code for CDV validation in C# that uses the CIM900 and TSM900 formats. These files just carry bank branch information. The account numbers are verified based on check-digit-validation (cdv), which means that you can only know that an account number is valid for that branch and account type, but you will not know if the account actually exists.

We were using cdvdll, but the results seems to very shaky, where an absa account number is valid for fnb, nedbank and absa

We had numerous other issues, like accounts being flagged as false, but we knew for a fact that they were indeed the correct details. We also had some scenarios where an account would be flagged as false, re-run and would then pass. Very strange. We ended up moving to Hyphen and haven't looked back since!

Back to the original question: I managed to get all the required documents by speaking to FNB business banking. After some phone calls I was registered and was able to download all the needed docs. Hope this helps

Yeah Hyphen rofl.. There systems are so unstable its unreal. We use them as a last resort for some things but we have integrated directly into the banks and written our own services and engines to create and parse files and do all the required batching on jobs.

There was numerous ones last year, we average about 1,500 transactions a day on the AVS component. So we have just split traffic in our services to specific banks. We have numerous LD codes for the various banks and just use hyphen for standard bank and fnb.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but does anybody have the CIM900 layout? We have a CIM900 file that we upload to our system but are unsure if the layout is 100%

Awesome. This will help a lot. Yeah, seems most people can't actually help you with this and those that can treat it like it's a closely guarded secret.

Thank you so much for this.
