COMPASS® Internet Version SSR File Layout

(Verified January 2007)

Download the PDF version:

This layout specifies the meaning of codes built into COMPASS. It is possible to print these screens for future reference. Please note that all fields are right-justified, including text.

NOTE: This is the SSR layout that is used by the COMPASS Internet Version. The layout has changed slightly from the Windows® layout in the following ways (all other fields have remained in the same positions as in the Windows® version):

  1. Record length has been expanded from 1800 to 2000 as shown in positions 1–4.
  2. Student ID field has been expanded to 20 characters and moved to positions 1800–1819.
  3. Phone Number field has been expanded to 20 characters and moved to positions 1820–1839.
  4. Test Center ID, Licensed Site ID, and System ID have been added at positions 1840, 1852, and 1864.
  5. e-Write Type has been added at position 758 to identify which type of e-Write service the student completed (01=e-Write 2-8; 02=e-Write 2-12; 03=ESL e-Write 2-12).
  6. A table of the State/Province Code Numbers used in COMPASS Internet Version and COMPASS Windows® Version is attached at the end of the SSR Layout.
