Error Name

Duplicate Record within File

Severity

FATAL error - Must be corrected in order to post the record and/or certify the data.

Error Type

PSTS - Postsecondary Status

Error Description

Two or more records exist with the same operational key fields.

Suggested Resolution

Understanding the Error: The Postsecondary Status file submitted contains two records that CALPADS interprets as the same record. Both records have the same Reporting LEA, Academic Year ID, SSID, Education Program Participation Type Code, and Postsecondary Status Code. These are the fields that CALPADS uses to uniquely identify a record in the ODS. Therefore, there can't be two records with the same unique identifiers.

Things to check for in submission: Verify that the fields listed in the Fields Validated column are correct in the submitted file.

Suggested Resolution:
1) Delete one of the duplicate records and resubmit the file

OR

2) If file produced from local SIS, contact vendor/technical resource to determine reason for duplicate record and to determine how to resolve the problem.
