Considering the changes in order handling in TOPS, traders would be well
advised not to assume that all will be normal today.

Subject: NOTE ABOUT ORDER IDS
> On Sunday evening, August 26, the structure of the CME's TOPS ticket ID
> was changed.
>
> Under the new numbering system, the ID will consist of a 3 character
> Terminal ID, a day of the week code, and a 4 digit sequence number which
> replaces the previous 3 digit sequence number.
>
> Existing Good Til Cancelled orders(orders entered prior to August 26th)
> will be modified so that a 0 will be inserted between the existing
> Terminal ID and the existing Day Code and Sequence Number. For example,
> ABC1001 will appear in TOPS as ABC01001. Yes, this is completely
> different than any new orders entered after the 26th.
>
> The existing Order Entry software is unable to handle an 8 digit ticket
> number, so users will be returned a ticket number that looks exactly like
> what they have seen previously. The first digit of the 4 digit sequence
> number will be stripped out and then re-inserted when communicating with
> the order servers and the exchange. For example, a ticket that appears in
> TOPS as ABC10001 will appear to the User as ABC1001. Old (prior to
> 8/26/01) Good Til Cancelled orders will have the new "0" stripped out, so
> to all appearances those existing numbers will not change. A new version
> of the software which DOES handle 8 digit ticket numbers (and has a host
> of upgrades and improvements) will be distributed in September.
>
> If you are an individual user using AIMWEB to view daily statements and
> verify Good Til Cancelled orders, please note that an additional change
> has been made to the process that the CME is using to distribute the Open
> Order List to us, so for the next day or so we expect some discrepancies
> in the lists as this new process is digested. The first list which will
> contain these changes will be distributed Monday evening, August 27.
>
> It is important to be extremely careful when tracking down a question
> regarding either existing or new Open Good til Cancelled orders. Please
> be patient with your support desk as we go through this transition.
