TO: AES Filers Who Receive Fatal Error 997
             

If you receive Fatal Error 997 FILING CONTAINS NON-STANDARD DATA
             

This is the reason:


* AES has encountered invalid characters in your data input. 
             

This is how to resolve it:


* Check all input records to ensure that all data values (including 
filler if using the proprietary record format) are characters that 
can be found on a standard keyboard. 

* In a proprietary filing, do not transmit low-values, carriage 
return characters, or any other non-displayable character.
