Narrative:
I heard cpr X had been released, I turned and stated cpr X are you with us. His reply was yes. I then asked if he could accept A6, he said he would enter at that point and taxi full length. I then told him to taxi with a right turn to full length. Once traffic exited runway, my next response was cleared for takeoff to cpr X. I then told cpr X to contact new york departure. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information. The reporter stated at the time cpr X was released departure control had coordination to stop cpr X at 2000 ft. Normal altitude is 3000 ft. Flight data controller had written 2000 ft on the flight progress strip but had not issued the new altitude to cpr X. The altitude was supposed to be check marked after being issued. The altitude was not checked and the reporter failed to catch the error. Cpr X climbed to wrong altitude.

Title: TRACON ATCT INTERFAC COORD LCL CTLR FAILED TO ISSUE NEW ALT AND CPR X CLBED TO WRONG ALT. OPDEV.
Narrative: I HEARD CPR X HAD BEEN RELEASED, I TURNED AND STATED CPR X ARE YOU WITH US. HIS REPLY WAS YES. I THEN ASKED IF HE COULD ACCEPT A6, HE SAID HE WOULD ENTER AT THAT POINT AND TAXI FULL LENGTH. I THEN TOLD HIM TO TAXI WITH A R TURN TO FULL LENGTH. ONCE TFC EXITED RWY, MY NEXT RESPONSE WAS CLRED FOR TKOF TO CPR X. I THEN TOLD CPR X TO CONTACT NEW YORK DEP. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO. THE RPTR STATED AT THE TIME CPR X WAS RELEASED DEP CTL HAD COORD TO STOP CPR X AT 2000 FT. NORMAL ALT IS 3000 FT. FLT DATA CTLR HAD WRITTEN 2000 FT ON THE FLT PROGRESS STRIP BUT HAD NOT ISSUED THE NEW ALT TO CPR X. THE ALT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CHK MARKED AFTER BEING ISSUED. THE ALT WAS NOT CHKED AND THE RPTR FAILED TO CATCH THE ERROR. CPR X CLBED TO WRONG ALT.
