Creating Check Digit Files
1. Using an ASCII text editor, create a file to hold your check
digit calculation scheme.
2. Place a left brace { on line 1. Go to the next line.
3. Find the Check Digit record you created in Chapter 4.
4. Type all values from boxes A1 through A8 on line 2 in your
file as follows.
• Place the A from box A1 at the very beginning of the
line. Do not place a space or any other character
before the A.
• Enter all information in capital letters (except phrases in
quotes).
• Place a comma between all values.
• Make sure you have 8 items in line 2.
• Do not forget the quotation marks around item #8.
• Place a split vertical bar at the end of line 2.
5. Go to the next line after the split vertical bar. Place a right
brace } on that line to end the check digit file.
Your file should look something like this.
{
A,1,A,M,10,5,D,"65432" }
