Message D18A/RDRMES
Raw data reporting message
A Raw data reporting message (RDRMES) is sent in response to predefined and identified questions. Raw data are collected by numerous offices in the public and private sectors. Much of the data is predefined and repetitious. The data are often codified such that their description has been pre-set and meets the criteria of the collector.
