where:
B##### represents the school board unique employer group ID that OTIP assigns.
NATUREOFFILE is PROD or TEST.
On the Provincial Benefits Data Exchange Setup page, on the OTIP FastTab, the Production field determines whether PROD or TEST is included in the OTIP MPL export file name.

YYYYMMDD is the year, month, and day that the file was created.
