These steps describe the sequence if you encounter a seed violation using the batch application.:
- The function (DPV or LACSLink) generating the seed violation stops processing.
- The Finalist job continues to run to completion if the DPV Shutdown Indicator is not set to "S". Otherwise, a seed violation will stop the Finalist job.
- An error message is written to the log.
Process | Seed Violation Message |
---|---|
DPV | 20125 DPV Processing Error. Seed violation encountered. Call Technical Support. |
LACSLink | 20152 LACS Processing Error. Seed Violation encountered. Call Technical Support. |
- Finalist generates the USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report) for the job that encountered the False Positive (Seed) violation. It will be reflective of the records that were DPV/LACSLink processed before the False Positive (Seed) violation.
- Finalist writes the offending record to the SEEDLOG file. For Mainframe environments, your JCL includes a DD statement for SEEDLOG. The seed violation record is written to the location and filename assigned in this DD statement. For Windows and Unix environments, Finalist creates a "seedlog.txt" file in your /bin directory containing the seed violation.

In addition to producing a Seed Log, the output file indicates seeds by:
- If a DPV seed violation is encountered, the output file contains a "Y" for the DPV Flags False Positive indicator in position 3 of the three-byte output field oDPVPBSA.
- If a LACSLink seed violation is encountered, the output LACSLink Seed Detail field oLLKSD is populated with a "Y" The oLLKSD field is not available to be posted out with the Workbench for Windows.
- The function (DPV or LACSLink) generating the seed violation cannot process subsequent jobs until a reactivation key is applied. Any CASS job submitted after the False Positive (Seed) violation will encounter an initialization error.
