(NMF)return. Establishes a full record on AIMS for specific account tat is not a Master File. Generated 5546 record to be used in operinga programs to generate charge outs for NMF cases. AMNOND will delete the Aims Account from the data base. AMFRZ will set an AIMS freeze code on an account which prevents closing of that account. AMREQ is used to cause Master File to send an update record to AIMS Weekend processing. This update record includes most fields on the AIMS data base. It generates TC429 transaction (F/). AMLAB generates realtime lables for returns on AIMS. Generated Status-Change-Label Records (FP).
2. Purpose: This transmits revised IRM 2.8.8, Audit Information Management System (AIMS), AIMS Command Codes AMNON, AMTIN, AMBLK, AMFRZ, AMREQ and AMLAB.
3. Audience: The audience for this IRM section are users of the Audit Information Management System (AIMS).

7. Program Goals: To provide explicit instructions for the use of command codes AMNON, AMTIN, AMBLK, AMFRZ, AMREQ and AMLAB. in entering and requesting data.
1. As a result of a study, it was concluded that Examination had a need for a new information management system. The study group recommended a terminal assisted Audit Information Management System (AIMS). A stand alone direct access terminal system was considered along with the enhancement of IDRS. Enhancement of IDRS was determined to be clearly the best choice for the Service.
2. This new system satisfied Examination Division's current needs for accurate and timely inventory controls, better control of assessments and up-to-date management reports. The system traces examination results through final determination of tax liability including Appeals and Tax Court.
3. After the successful implementation of AIMS for the Examination Division, control of returns in Appeals was added to AIMS. As of January 1, 1977 control of Exempt Organization returns was added and on October 1, 1977 control of Employee Plan returns was added.
1. During the summer of 1973, the Deputy Commissioner established a Task Force to identify ADP requirements of Compliance functions, and to make appropriate recommendations to satisfy their needs.
1. Headquarters AIMS Related Section is responsible for maintaining procedures related to AIMS programming.
1. Command Codes AMNON, AMTIN, AMBLK, AMFRZ, AMREQ and AMLAB are managed by Work Requests which are submitted for changes and also by tickets which are submitted by users for corrections.
1. IRS implements access control measures that provide protection from unauthorized alteration, loss, unavailability, or disclosure of information.
2. SACS controls all the IDRS user accesses and permissions.

1. CC AMNON is used to establish NMF records on AIMS. This command code will accept as input the data necessary to establish a return on AIMS with a file source of N or D. File Source N, indicated by EIN or SSN input format, is used when the NMF TIN is known. File Source D is input when the correct TIN is unknown or unavailable. After the data has been validated, the return will be established on AIMS.
2. The input documents for CC AMNON are as follows:
1. Form 5345-D, Examination Request - ERCS (Examination Return Control System) Users.
2. Form 5354, Examination Request for Non-Master File for Examination Division.
3. Form 5588, TE/GE NMF Request - EO, EP and GE Divisions.
3. A Form 5546, Examination Return Charge-out, and labels will be printed at the service center during the weekly processing for distribution to the originator.
1. CC AMNOND allows for real-time deletion of a previously-established NMF record if all validity/consistency checks are met. See Exhibit 2.8.8-2 for detailed procedures.
1. Error Messages - If the data entered did not pass validity or consistency checks, a message will be displayed.
1. If a field did not pass a validity check, the position following the incorrect field will have an asterisk and the message " CORRECT INVALID DATA" will de displayed.
2. If a field did not pass a consistency check the message "CORRECT INCONSISTENT DATA" will be displayed on line 23.

1. Command Code AMBLK displays data stored by the computer for NMF Cases in response to closing command codes. It is an auxiliary Command Code used after the following command codes:
1. CC AMSOC - to display data stored by the computer for a particular terminal for a short closing.
2. CC AMCLS (O, E, A, P, F) - to display data stored by the computer for a particular terminal for a long closing.
2. Command Code AMBLK displays data stored for closing, however it does not differentiate between two similar Command Codes with a different sixth digit (i.e. AMSOC/AMSOCA). Only the first five digits of Command Code are referenced in this section and it is to be understood that if Command Code AMBLK is to be used after CC AMSOCA, instructions for CC AMSOC should be used.
1. If any errors are encountered one of the following messages may appear on line 13 of output display:
| --- |
| BLOCK NOT STARTED<br This terminal has been cleared but a new block has not been started since there has been no TIN, MFT, Tax DLN stored in this terminal. |
| I / O ERROR<br Input/Output error while trying to access information stored in this terminal. Please recheck your entries and try again. |
1. This Command Code, used with definer "S" , sets the a Specialized Freeze Code on AIMS which will prevent a case from closing or updating. When used with definer "R" it will remove the Specialized Freeze Code specified on the screen. See Exhibit 2.8.8-8.
2. Input may be a single line or batch. If batch, up to 11 lines may be input. A correct entry will display OK in position 40-41, an incorrect entry will display \\ with a corresponding error message in line 13. An entry of DR on top if the two asterisks will bypass the line.
1. The following error messages are for CC AMFRZ:
