WebLink API Updates:

• 09/04/2002 - Added ODTC Data Elements. These data elements are currently ignored by AESDirect in both certification and production filing. When we have completed our internal testing with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection AES system, these changes will be made available for testing in certification. These data elements will be ignored in prodution filing until the changes are moved into production in AES; this is expected to happen in early 2003. Please contact us if you have any questions.
