    Description:
    The XML example shows the fields "z304-id" and "z305-id" - these are not listed in the PLIF field reference... what are they? Are they required?

    Resolution:
    The z304-id and z305-id are assigned by the system. (They are the same as the z303 ID.)

    I believe that this XML example was created using the util f/2/5/2 utility to generate an XML file from existing records -- in which case the record does already have an ID.

    But you can not know what key the system is going to assgn, so the "z304-id" and "z305-id" should be omitted from your XML input file.
