Description

Changing Member IDs

 Values for carrier specific unique member ID and carrier specific unique subscriber ID changed for most members from these SEs in 2018.When IDs change, the original value was placed in the Alias fields at the end of each records. The new value was placed in the Original ID fields. However, the System ID was not incremented to 1 and currently contains the value “0”. Where the System ID value > 0 indicates an ID change, use the presence of data in the alias fields as the trigger.
