This file contains data elements as specified by the Decision Support System (DSS) Program Office for the Event Capture extract
from the existing Event Capture DHCP files. Entries into this file are made by extracting data from several files. Once approved
by the DSS site manager, entries in this file are loaded into an electronic mail message and sent to the commercial vendor. This
file is intended to be used for validation purposes only. Entries should be made only by the extract load routine.
Since validation techniques will be determined by the local site, it is intended that the site add whatever cross references deemed
necessary. However, this file contains one nationally determined cross reference, the "AC" cross reference on the EXTRACT NUMBER
field (#2). This cross reference is used by the DSS Extracts software package as an essential feature for managing and purging
data in this file and should not be modified.
This file should NOT be modified directly using VA FileMan.

HELP-PROMPT: Answer must be 6 characters in length.
DESCRIPTION:
A six character string representing the year and the month for which this extract was performed.
TECHNICAL DESCR: YEAR MONTH is derived by parsing the fileman format end date of the extract. The month is
determined by taking the 4th and 5th characters of the end date, the year by taking the 2nd and 3rd
characters, and the century is then calculated by taking the 1st character of the end date, and
adding 17 to it. The century is then concatenated with the year and month, giving the results in
YYYYMM format.
