What placeholders can we use in CDIF files for unavailable data, and how does DLA handle them?

You can use the following placeholders in CDIF files when specific data points are unavailable. The DLA system processes these placeholders as follows:

Values	Result
Not Applicable	Accepted
Not Available	Accepted
N/A	Rejected
Not-Applicable	Accepted
N-A	Accepted
N#A	Accepted
N.A	Accepted
N/A/N/A	Accepted
N@A	Accepted
N!A	Accepted
Not-Available	Accepted
NA	Rejected
na	Rejected
N%A	Accepted
N&A	Accepted

To ensure data is accepted by the system, you should use placeholders marked as Accepted in the table above.
Avoid using values like N/A, NA, or na, as these are rejected by the DLA system.
This applies to any data point where details are unavailable, not limited to specific fields like address.
