    Affected Field
    Total Accounts

    Description

    The trailer record contains control totals that must match the actual contents of the file. A count mismatch indicates records were added or removed after the trailer was created, or the count was calculated incorrectly.

    Common Causes

    • Records added after trailer generation
    • Counter not incremented for all records
    • Records removed but count not updated
    • Segment counts confused with record counts

    How to Fix

    1. 1Calculate counts after all records are generated
    2. 2Verify count logic includes all base segments
    3. 3Regenerate trailer after any file modifications
