CWR Deep-Dive (2/4): Filename Logic & HDR Header Records Explained | ALV
How are CWR filenames structured and what role does the HDR Header Record play in acceptance by collecting societies? We walk through the technical specifications and show you how ALV generates error-free header data.
How is a CWR file named, and what does the first line of a CWR file contain? This video breaks down the CWR filename structure and the HDR header record in detail.
✅ What this video covers:
✅ CWR filename structure: CW + year + sequence number + sender code (SSS) + receiver code (RNR) + version extension (e.g. V22)
✅ Submitter codes: 3-digit codes issued by SABAM on behalf of CISAC – and the upcoming expansion to 4 digits
✅ The HDR record: the first row of every CWR file, identifying sender, creation date, CWR version, and software used
✅ Important limitation: the sender IPI field in HDR allows only 9 digits, but current IPIs have 11 – a known issue being addressed
✅ How ALV handles HDR generation automatically for music publishers
