• Solution – set the Accept/Reject Control (SELRA) field to a value of R.

EXPORT TA TRICK
Ever want to export a single course, rather than all courses?
Export less than “all” of the courses by selecting “X Marked For Transfer” and save.
• On DA0001CP in ISRS, process as you would normally (Export=L)
• Only the course(s) you marked for transfer will be exported to ISRS.
