ALPHANUMERIC OCN PROCESSING
When processing 0000 CIC usage, CDG uses the OCN
as the CIC
To identify this usage, CDG converts the first digit to an
alpha character
0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, etc.
OCN of 6117 becomes CIC G117

ALPHANUMERIC OCN PROCESSING
Newly assigned OCNs may have an alpha character in
the first position
To identify this usage, CDG has updated our OCN
processing
If the first byte is alpha, change the 4th position to its
alpha equivalent
If the first two bytes are alpha, leave the OCN as is
If the OCN is numeric, convert first character to alpha
OCN G117 = G11H
OCN SN01 = SN01
OCN 6117 = G117

AIND - APPLY PPU LOCAL ONLY
Switching this indicator to Y will apply the PPU to local
jurisdiction USOCs only
The indicator defaults to N, which means the PPU will be
applied to USOCs of all jurisdictions
When the ASPL PPU is less than 100% and the ACKP
Apply PIU indicator is set to Y, the PPU will display on
the CSR under each USOC
