Federal Reserve Board to make formatting changes to DDP XML files
On March 26, 2023, the Federal Reserve will make minor changes to the format of all XML files released through the Data Download Program (DDP). The changes include
- adding line breaks in message headers to improve readability;
- removing extra spaces before closing tags of observations;
- and some long description text that was previously truncated will no longer be truncated.

To see a sample file for this data release, click here: https://www.federalreserve.gov/data/sampleDDP/scoos_data.zip

These changes will help expedite the release of some public DDP releases and lay the groundwork for continued improvements in the future.
