The RAPPFR function files will allow MDH, CCF and CCF-II users to retrieve their Paperless Fast Redemptions
records once a day on the business day using the RAPPFR function. Please note that all times refer to Eastern
Time.
At approximately 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, DTCC will provide redemption agents with a file of
upcoming Redemption Maturities, Partial and Full Calls that our records indicate that you are the paying agent for.
Agents are asked to compare the items on the file to their own system and return the file via the Interface Control
Manager (ICM) function PWP1 for MDH users and PWP5 for CCF users, indicating differences by changing the
Total Proceeds Due Amount and/or indicating the difference in the Comments column.

receive a file comprised of CCF-II Header and Trailer records separated by the detail records.
