The PC-SPAN® Organization Master file has been updated for the new CBOE Futures Exchange, set to begin trading this Friday, March 26th.

SPAN® files for the CBOE Futures Exchange will be published in the expanded-unpacked ("pa2") format and will be available on the Internet at:

            ftp.cme.com/pub/span/data/cfe

A typical filename will be cfe.20040326.s.pa2 inside a ZIP file named cfe.20040326.s.pa2.zip.

Please note that within these SPAN files, the exchange acronym will be provided as CFX, not CFE.  The files will load as an exchange underneath clearing organization OCC.

The updated Organization Master file is available at:
