❏ Corrected the following Level 1 Errors:
❏ Corrected the issue that caused a -6 Error to display on the TSDS Extract Error Report on the following extracts. It is possible that other scenarios may inadvertently cause the -6 Error to occur. TCC will investigate additional scenarios as they are reported.
