Subject	January 28th Deadline For Converting To FIXML-Based PCS And Trade Register Files
Notice Date	2004-07-28
Notice Number	CMO0060
Effective Date
As previously announced on May 27th (please see CMO #0043 atwww.cme.com..../files/CMO0043a.pdf), the new FIXML-based Trade Register file is now available every night for all CME-CBOT clearing member firms. Firms may also begin submitting FIXML-based PCS (Position Change Specification) data, either via file or message, for either the intraday or the end-of-day clearing cycles, at any time. We recommend that firms begin working to switch to receiving the new FIXML-based Trade Register file and transmitting the new FIXML-based PCS file, at their earliest convenience. Effective Friday, January 28, 2005, the old formats for the Trade Register file and the PCS file will no longer be supported. Please view the attached notice for more information. Thank you.
