What is a delimited file?

A data format in which each field and each record is separated by a character that is used as a delimiter. The Unverified Parties List file available here uses the TAB character to separate fields and the double quotation mark character to encapsulate data within a field. It uses the new line character to separate records. This is a popular format for transferring data from one application to another, because most database systems are able to import and export delimited data.

Importing into popular applications:

Most popular database, spreadsheet, and similar applications will import a delimited file such as this and format it as a table. For specific information on how to import this file into the program you are using, consult that program's documentation. We cannot assist you in that regard.

What is the advantage of using this file?

This file allows you to put the data about denied persons into a program that will search and organize the data based on fields of information. For example, you can sort the denied persons by geographical location. This file also may facilitate incorporation of the data into your own export management system. How you use this data is up to you.
