Online Data Collection batch or Provider on Line FAQ's

Question 1 - How do I resolve 9999 error’s relating to the batch submission for employer responsive returns.

Answer - There can be several reasons why a “9999” error report is returned, but the most common reason is for errors that relate to a change of LSC code (L25).

To resolve this problem there are two options:-

1  -  Complete the ILR against the old LSC code (L25) and start new ILR against the new LSC code (L25) returning the data. (Making sure funding has been set to correct field value in A51a). This option must be followed when a learner has transferred between LSC’s during a contract year.

2  -  In the situation where the learner has been submitted previously under an incorrect LSC code (L25), the applicable learners must be deleted before the learner record can be re-submitted with the correct LSC code. To do this submit a “B” file to delete the learner records against the incorrect LSC by altering field LO8 to Y. Then submit an A file with the complete learner records against the correct LSC. This option applies where the LSC code (L25) has been incorrect from the learners start date or start of contract year. See field LO8 in the ILR specification for further details.
