Federal R eserve Bank OF DALLAS DALLAS. TEXAS 75222 July 17, 1985 Circular 85-92 TO: ACH coordinators of all financial institutions in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District SUBJECT The availability of ACH Entry Registers via the IBM PC DETAILS The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas is pleased to announce the availability of ACH Entry Registers (transaction detail) through the Generalized Advice Retrieval System using the IBM Personal Computer. Financial institutions that currently receive their ACH Entry Registers on paper from the Fed may now access the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' computer using the IBM Personal Computer and retrieve their ACH Entry Register for printing on the PC printer. Entry Register data will generally be available for retrieval in late afternoon for the day cycle and in the early morning for the night cycle. This step toward a more electronic ACH is only the first step in a program the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas has embarked upon to enhance the ACH and the RESPONSE network. This program will culminate around the end of this year with the availability of software that will run in the IBM PC allowing PC users to originate and receive ACH items or small files electronically. The ability to originate items also will allow institutions to originate ACH return items in an electronic format. MORE INFORMATION For more information, please contact B. B.
