If the Delete Switch is “N” and if the combination of the Institution code, Campus Code, Year from header record, Term Code from header record and HEI Course Identifier is received for the same combination of values that already exist in the OTM Course Inventory/OTM Campus Year Term tables or within this file submission for another Subject Area and the Interdisciplinary Switch is "N" for any of the record lines

C42 Warning: Total Credit Hours exceeded within file or OTM Course Inventory table Under normal circumstances, it would not be expected that the sum of all subject area credit hours for an interdisciplinary course would exceed the total credit hours. If the year and term taken from the header record is for Winter of 2007 or thereafter And If the Delete Switch is N And If the Total Credit Hours for an HEI Course Identifier is exceeded by summing the Subject Area Credit Hours from this file and the OTM Course Inventory table for the same combination of Subject Area Code, Campus, HEI Course Identifier, Year, Term
C43 Warning: Sum of Subject Area Credit Hours less than Total Credit Hours Under normal circumstances, it would not be expected that the sum of the subject area credit hours for a course would be less than the total credit hours. This circumstance might arise if not all of the mappings for a course had been submitted at a certain point in time. If the year and term taken from the header record is for Winter of 2007 or thereafter And If the Delete Switch is N And If the Total Credit Hours for an HEI Course Identifier is greater than the sum of the Subject Area Credit Hours from this file and the OTM Course Inventory table for the same combination of Subject Area Code, Campus, HEI Course Identifier, Year, Term
C38 Warning: Total Credit Hours mismatch in file or OTM Course Inventory table Under normal circumstances, the total credit hours for a course should not change from what has been reported previously in a given term. If the year and term taken from the header record is for Winter of 2007 or thereafter And If for this record line the Total Credit Hours for an HEI Course Identifier is less than or greater than the Total Credit Hours reported for this HEI Course Identifier in the OTM Course Inventory table or in another record line in this file submission.
C39 Warning: HEI Course Identifier not in Course Inventory Under normal circumstances, the HEI course identifier would have already been reported in the Course Inventory (CI) file submission. Since the TM is a prospective submission, however, a circumstance might arise where the identifier will not have been reported yet in the CI. If for any of the HEI Course Identifiers (1-5) there is not a matching HEI Course Identifier in the Course Inventory table for this Institution within the year prior to the Year in the header record.
