The data file contains data reported and data to be reported to the TMC
Operationally valid data that is used for control charting has the variable CHART=Y
Explanations of TMC Validity Codes (VAL) can be found at:
ftp://ftp.astmtmc.cmu.edu/refdata/validity_code_descriptions.htm
Note, that operationally invalid data does not receive the same level of review
as operationally valid data from the TMC and should be used
with CAUTION !!!!!! 
Note: Tests showing a Z suffix on the CMIR or OILCODE are 
tests the TMC has received as corrections but have not yet
reviewed and processed 
LAB and STAND have been coded by the TMC
using LTMSLAB and LTMSAPP, respectively
 
For other variable specifics consult the
current data dictionary.
