CWR error: Registration numbering has a gap
What it means
Registrations in a batch are numbered 0, 1, 2… and this one breaks the run. Receivers use the numbering to detect missing registrations, so a gap reads as lost data.
How to fix it
Regenerate the file; if it persists, a registration was deleted without renumbering the rest.

Two free checks for your CWR file. Is the file correct? Every record, share and control total against the spec, each problem on its exact line. Do its writers match their registrations?
