Ÿ	index5=X'C481A3854ðC4A485',field5
	–	X'C481A3854ðC4A485' is					‘Date Due’, the 5th index attribute
	–	field5		maps	to field5the		index	value,	which is:
		-	4	lines	down	from	the	indexing	anchor	record, 60 columns across
			12 bytes in			length
The	result			of using		these	indexing parameters is that the first pag
the		ACIF	output		file	will	contain	indexing tags		for each of the five

attributes. Using Workbench Viewer, customer service representatives single customer bill in the ACIF document using any combination of the attributes.

to convert the ASCII literal

do

the

following:

1. Create

a

shell

environment

variable

to

hold

the

EBCDIC

literal

ŸTo do this using theaxeb AIXcommand, enter: attr2=$(echo -n "Name" axeb)

ŸTo do this using theiconv AIXcommand, enter:

attr2=$(echo -n "Name" iconv -fIBM-85ð -tIBM-ð37)

2. Then, on the command line or in a shell script, specify the 2nd by entering:

index2="'$attr2'",field2

Note: This example is for use with the Korn Shell (ksh). If you a different shell, refer to the documentation for the shell y AIX for RISC System/6000 Commands Reference

By using this method to convert the ASCII literals to the EBCDIC lite mistakes are made when converting the literals to a hexadecimal strin

Identifying	the Locations		of	the		Resources
	To	build		the		resource	file, ACIF must	know where to	find	the resour
	the	job.		In		the example, the following		directories	are	defined:
	fdeflib		Form definition directorie/usr/res/fdeflib1:/usr/res/fdeflib2,
	fontlib		Font		directories,/usr/res/fontlib1:/usr/res/fontlib2
	ovlylib		Overlay directories,/usr/res/ovlylib1:/usr/res/ovlylib2
	pdeflib		Page		definition		directories,/usr/res/pdeflib1:/usr/res/pdeflib2
	pseglib		Page segment, BCOCA (barcode), GOCA (graphics), IOCA (IO image
			directories,/usr/res/pseglib1:/usr/res/pseglib2
