New formats for full files

Dear Users,
Beginning December 2024, new 'full' files covering periods from January 2002 onwards will be made available in the bulk download facility. The files for the years 1988-2001 will remain unchanged.
The modifications will be as follows:
New Archive Names:
full_v2_YYYYMM.7z
full_partxixu_v2_YYYYMM.7z
New Structure:
REPORTER, PARTNER, TRADE_TYPE, PRODUCT_NC, PRODUCT_SITC, PRODUCT_CPA21, PRODUCT_BEC, PRODUCT_BEC5, PRODUCT_SECTION, FLOW, STAT_PROCEDURE, SUPPL_UNIT, PERIOD, VALUE_EUR, VALUE_NAC, QUANTITY_KG, QUANTITY_SUPPL_UNIT
Changes:
4 columns removed: CPA2008, CPA2002, numerical (ISO) codes for DECLARANT and PARTNER;
2 columns added:
o	SUPPL_UNIT (please refer to ‘SU_SUPPL_UNIT.txt’ under [COMEXT METADATA]-[CLASSIFICATIONS AND RELATIONS]-[CLASSIFICATIONS]
o	VALUE_NAC (value in national currency)
Additionally, it should be noted that the letters corresponding to the 'special' alphanumeric codes under PRODUCT_NC have been replaced by a unique letter 'X'.
The goal of these changes is to align the data structure and content with that disseminated via the extraction tools Easy Comext and Data Browser.
To facilitate a smooth transition, both the old and new formats will be maintained in parallel until February 2025 inclusive. This will provide sufficient time for you to update your templates and modify your programs accordingly. We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause.
