Data Description:

Stock record breaks are defined as out-of-balance error conditions in the daily recording of security position changes or movements where total debit entries (longs) do not equal total credit entries (shorts) within a given security position reflected on the daily stock record.

Short differences are the amounts needed to balance an excess of long positions over short positions. When recorded in a difference account, such would be recorded short on the stock record.

NOTE:

Reported on the Focus Report.
