Client Management Advisory Notice

Subject	ATOM Alert Notice - Important Reminder For Account-Specific Rate Set Ups In ATOM
Effective Date	03/23/01
Notice Number	CM#0117

Important Reminder�

When setting up account-specific rates in ATOM (via the Account Number field on the Account Brokerage Rates Inquiry/Update screen), ATOM will right-justify and zero-fill the account number, if the account number is not ten characters long.

If your firm enters spaces in the Account Number when submitting trades from your trade entry system, and your account number is set up in ATOM as zero filled, ATOM will not match the account number and won�t calculate a rate.

Therefore, please ensure that account-specific rate set ups match exactly how they are submitted to clearing. Contact Farris Oweimrin at (312) 648-4780 or e-mail foweimri@cme.com if you have any questions.
