Circuit Civil Daily Report File Layout

General File Characteristics:

•	All files are text files.
•	Records will be delimited by the “|” character. 
•	The cases included in the reports are selected by case type plus the other report criteria
•	All dates are in the “mm/dd/yyyy” format.
•	When information is not available, the file will have blanks for that field.

File Name: DDCACIVLMMDDYYYY. The first two characters (“DD”) represent the day of the week: SU = Sunday, MO = Monday, TU = Tuesday, WE = Wednesday,       TH = Thursday, FR = Friday, SA = Saturday. The last eight characters “MMDDYYYY” represent the date the file was created. 

File Content: Case information for new Circuit Civil cases filed (initiated) on the day of the week on the file name and on the date the file was produced. The files will be “refreshed” every day, but with cases initiated on the day of the week indicated in the file name. Only seven days’ worth of daily files will be retained. If the size of the file is blank, it means that no cases were initiated on that date before the file was produced. These cases will be available the next day when the file is refreshed.
