Open johcarter opened 2 weeks ago

johcarter commented 2 weeks ago
## Description

The ISO 3166-2 standard subdivision code for Queensland, Australia is QLD but it has always been QDL in the OED AreaCode list. The proposal is to correct it to QLD as part of the OED v4 release.

Reasons for change

To be in consistent with ISO standard ## Scope of change - [ X] Location File - [ ] Accounts File - [ ] Reinsurance Scope - [ ] Reinsurance Info ## Impact of change It will be a breaking change for any OED file which uses value 'QDL' in the AreaCode field, which will no longer be valid.

@benhayes21 suggested that it might be worthwhile to support both for awhile until the old code is removed. This would be a smaller interruption to the vendors and users. I would also suggest to discuss this with vendors who cover Australia, if they would be happy for a cold turkey approach (removing it straight away) or having a backup of the old and the new code for OED v4 (and perhaps removing the old in OED v5 or OED v6). @johcarter

@mrQQish can you weigh in on this please?

We will replace QDL with QLD in v4 unless there are any objections.
