Download zipped show12rec.exe  (12/18/2009)
Check the results of some conversions done by northcon12_u.exe or your own converter. This command-line program will break out and display the fields of some NAACCR 12 records of Type A, C, I, and M records from a file of such records. Run the program without parameters to see what you need on the command line. Examine the resulting output file html_recs\index.html with your browser. see example (Works better with your own realistic test data)

Synthetic Test Data

Download zipped ah_v11_re_aged.dat (10/08/2009)
This file of 150 records is like previous versions of the ah_v??.dat files except that all the dates have been incremented by eight years to make them more contemporary. This file originated as a hand-crafted NAACCR version 4 file of made-up data. It has been converted by standard conversion programs to NAACCR version 11. The original file focused mainly on the fields required by NPCR at the time, so it is somewhat sparse in terms of current requirements. Use these records freely.

Download zipped ah_v12.dat (12/18/2009)
The file contains the result of running the current in-process northcon12 conversion program on ah_v11_re_aged.dat. It may be useful to you for testing the mechanical aspects of your own NAACCR 12 software. It's a work in progress-- watch for updates.
