The .DBF format specified in SRP-EDI uses the same field names as the HazSite Data Submittal System. The field names are part of the record. However, the .WK1 format specified in the SRP-EDI uses more complete names. This is because in the .WK1 format, only the data inside each column is used by SRP, and therefore the column header (field name in .DBF) does not matter. However, you still need to include the column header names. NOTE: Keep this in mind if you are converting .WK1 files to .DBF files. You may need to change the field names in the .DBF files.
