Data element fields will be edited against their data element descriptions as provided in Section 3. These descriptions include the length, type, pattern, code table, and domain of values for each data element. The following rules will govern general field edits:
90027	Numeric data type elements must contain numeric characters and not have leading spaces.
90028	If the element has a domain of values specified in Section 3, the reported value must fall within the specified domain.
90030	Name Field and Coded data type elements must contain only the characters listed with those data types in Section 3.
90032	If the element is a Coded data type and contains a value, the field must not contain any blanks.
90001-90999	If an element has a code table, the reported value must be in the specified code table.

The general field edits generate fatal errors. Violation of one or more of the general field edit rules will cause the record to be rejected. ESCs will forward a district's PEIMS data submission only after all fatal data element general field edit errors have been corrected.
