Problem Note 63267: A blank value in field 94 "Filing institution contact phone number. . ." in a Suspicious Activity Report (SARX) causes an A4 Fatal FinCEN e-file error
 |  |  |  |  |
When you create a SARX file in SAS® Anti-Money Laundering, you must be sure to enter a value in field 94, Filing institution contact phone number (Include Area Code).
This field is located in Step 1, where you provide contact information for the filing institution.
If the field is left blank, you receive an E42 Warning message after you select Validate Report. Ultimately, the FinCEN e-file fails with an A4 Fatal error message.
The workaround is to ensure that you enter a contact phone number.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
The hot fix ensures that you are warned about the potential A4 Fatal error so that you can update the field before you generate the e-file.
