FLAT FILE FORMAT

Introduction

A flat file contains ‘flat,’ plain data in ASCII text, without any internal markers or indices.


The shift, clerk, or end-of-day report in flat file format consists of variable-length records with
fixed-length fields that are comma delimited. (Comma delimited means that each field is separated
from the following field only by a comma, with no blank spaces.)


Currently, a flat file for Attendant reports is only available with multiple tenders.


Each line of the report is identified by a 3-character record identifier followed by record data. The
presence or absence of a particular record is controlled by the report format file. Most of the
standard record types are described below.

Shift report

The shift report record is identified by SHF. The record data following the record identifier is the:

• 4-digit POS shift reference number,

• 2-digit POS shift number,

• 2-digit POS number, and

• date and time the report was generated. The format for date and time is yymmddhhmm.


For example, the shift report record for shift number 1 on POS #2 11/04/00 11:47 AM with POS
serial number 12 is:

SHF,0012,01,02,0011041147

End-of-day report record

The end-of-day report record is identified by DAY. The record data following the record identifier
is the:

• 6-digit site ID,

• 4-digit site serial number, and

• date and time the report was generated.


For example, the end-of-day report record for site number 1001, with serial number 5 on Friday,
11/03/00 at 5:43 AM is:

DAY,001001,0005,0011050543
