Field list, monthly series

Every record in the monthly file carries these 15 fields. Two of them exist so that a reader can see the difference between the value as a number and the value as the document printed it.

Field list, annual reports

The company file carries 28 fields, because a contract record needs more of them than a financial line does. Fields that do not apply to a record are null rather than blank.

What you should not do with it

Do not present a TARGET row as an outcome. Do not average two readings that disagree. Do not fill a missing month by interpolation and then attribute the result to this register. Every one of those moves would produce a number that no government document has ever published, which is the failure mode this site exists to avoid.
