Remarks	The Organization (v27) match definition is a temporary definition provided to facilitate an upgrade of the Organization definition. In a future release, the match code length will be changed. This change might require you to update any jobs using the Organization definition so that the match code fields can handle the new length. The Organization (v27) definition uses the match code length that will be used by Organization in the future. If you want to begin using the updated processing now rather than waiting for a later release, you can update your jobs to call the Organization (v27) definition. Be aware however that the Organization (v27) definition is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent release when the Organization definition is updated.
