FEDLINE (Message and Code Definitions)
Your PC Window to the Federal Reserve Bank
by ParMaster
============================================================================
The FEDLINE software package is a common Bank client for the Federal
Reserve. Used by Banks, Credit Unions, and other Financial Institutions,
the amount of funds transferred on a daily basis matches or exceeds the
daily volume of all other EFT networks. FEDLINE uses hardware encryption
through a special PC card which operates using the US National Bureau of
Standards, Data Encryption Standard. This file is not my attempt to
demystify its operation, but to provide a categorical list of the codes.
I accept no responsibility for anyone's use or misuse of the information
contained in this file.
