   2. The codes must be all capital letters.
   3. You must add all 4 letters for each field.
   4. These codes should only be used once per line. Two codes per line will not work.
      DJMCA Codes in pairs:

1) DDDD = Judge Signature Date/ JJJJ = Judge Signature
2) MMMM = Mailing Date/ AAAA = Judicial Assistant Signature
3) RRRR = Reported and Recommended date /GGGG = GM or JHO signature
