Defining fields

ACIF uses fields to determine where to locate index values.

For the sample phone bill report, define three fields:
  • A field that instructs ACIF to locate account number values beginning in column 66 of the TRIGGER2 record.
  • A field that instructs ACIF to locate customer name values beginning in column 50 of the TRIGGER1 record.
  • A field that instructs ACIF to locate the date of the phone bill beginning in column 61 of the 11th record following the TRIGGER1 record.
