Sec. 6 End of Issuer — Publication 1516

The End of Issuer “C” Record is a fixed record length of 750 positions and is a summary record for a given issuer. The Control Total Field is 18 positions in length.

For each “A” Record and group of “B” Records on the file, there must be a corresponding “C” Record.
The “C” Record will contain the total number of payees and total of the payment amounts of a given issuer.
The “C” Record must be written after the last Payee “B” Record for a given issuer. Issuers/Transmitters should verify the accuracy of the totals since data with missing or incorrect “C” Records will require a replacement.
