Figure 13. Example of a Parameter File for EBCDIC Input Data
The example uses the following data values as the indexing attributes:
Account Number
Name
Address
City, State, Zip
Date Due
The task is to specify the ACIF indexing parameters so that the first page of each
bill includes group-level indexing tags containing the values of all five of these
attributes.
To generate these indexing attributes, specify the trigger1 parameter first, because
ACIF always scans for the data specified in trigger1 first. Because the data
contains carriage control characters, including a carriage control character of 1 to
indicate a new page, request that ACIF locate the start of a page by searching
every record in the file for a trigger value of the hexadecimal string for ‘1’ in column
1 of the data. To do this, specify:
trigger1 = ᑍ,1,X'F1'
When ACIF finds a record that contains a ‘1’ in column 1, that record becomes the
indexing anchor record.
