When processing 0000 CIC usage, CDG uses the OCN as the CIC
To identify this usage, CDG converts the first digit to an alpha character
0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, etc.
OCN of 6117 becomes CIC G117
ALPHANUMERIC OCN PROCESSING
3www.cdg.ws
Newly assigned OCNs may have an alpha character in the first position
To identify this usage, CDG has updated our OCN processing
If the first byte is alpha, change the 4th position to its alpha equivalent
If the first two bytes are alpha, leave the OCN as is
If the OCN is numeric, convert first character to alphaOCN G117 = G11HOCN SN01 = SN01OCN 6117 = G117
