LATA
In some TRUST messages, the Line And Terminal Address (LATA) of the inputting terminal is shown, usually when the event (movement or cancellation) is manually reported, or is reported through TOPS.
LATAs are in the format AANNNNN:
- AA is a two-character string which indicates the type of terminal and its sequence number
- NNNNN is the TOPS Responsibility Area (TRA) that the user is within
LATA types
There are several types of LATA, listed below.
Any LATA starting with 'M' has read-only access to TOPS, and cannot submit any command which modifies TOPS, or which requires a higher level of access.
There is an algorithm which maps a CICS terminal ID to a M-LATA, and these do not need to be individually configured per user.

TOPS Responsibility Areas
When TOPS was introduced, a TRA covered a geographical area. Since privatisation of the rail industry, TRAs are now operator-centric, rather than geography-centric.
