Figure	12. Example of a Parameter File for ASCII Input Data

The example uses the following data values as the indexing attributes:

ŸAccount Number

ŸName

ŸAddress

Ÿ City, State, Zip

ŸDate Due

The task is to specify the ACIF indexing parameters so that the firs bill includes group-level indexing tags containing the values of all five attributes.

To generate these indexing attributes,trigger1specifyparameterhe first, because ACIF always scans for the datatrigger1specifiedfirst.in Because the data contains carriage control characters, including a carriage control charac indicate a new page, request that ACIF locate the start of a page
