IBM S544-5285-01 manual Acif Processing Parameters to Index the Bank Statement

Because ACIF can process different data streams with various file control characters, no carriage control characters, table-reference ch so on), it requtriggersres to determineanchor pointfrom which it can locate th

necessary	index	values. You	may require	multiple	triggers	to	uniquely
start of	a new statement. To index the bank statements					using	the	ac
and the	date,	first define	the trigger	values	and the	fields		as

trigger1=\,1,'1' trigger2=ð,39,'PAGE 1' field1=ð,18,3 field2=ð,22,2 field3=ð,25,4 field4=ð,3ð,1 field5=2,8,2 field6=2,11,2 field7=2,14,2

index1='Account Number',field1,field2,field3,field4 index2='Date',field5,field6,field7

Figure 7. ACIF Processing Parameters to Index the Bank Statement

The information in Figure 7 defines two trigger values:

Ÿ The first trigger instructs ACIF	to	examine the first	byte of e
until it finds the occurrence of	an	ANSI skip-to-channel	1 carriage

character'1').( Because each page created by this particular appli contain this carriage control character, this trigger alone does n start of a new bank statement.

ŸThe second trigger accomplishes this task. When ACIF locates a re

containing 'a1' in the first byte, it looks for the string ‘PAGE 1’ record, starting at byte (column) 39. If this condition is found, exists, and ACIF uses the recordtrigger1containingas the anchor point. The field definitions are relative to this anchor point.

In the example ( Figure 7), the account number								has four fields.	The
defined as one field if the dashes							are included as part of the
date	has	three	fields		to remove	the	forward slashes. After ACIF h

Indexing Limitations: For a line-mode application that does not contain the appropriate data values in the application output and for which liter suitable, the application program cannot insert tagging structured fiel data, because tagging structured fields are not allowed in mixed-mod case where the application data does not contain the necessary app values for indexing, the application could add the index triggers.
