DATA FORMATS

The codes following the field names in this document define the field.  The different types are:

Alphanumeric Data

A - Alphanumeric field.  This indicates the field may contain Letters and/or numbers.  The number following is the field length. 
Example: a field defined as A5 could contain 'E10LN'.

Numeric Data

N - Numeric data.  This indicates the field may contain only numbers.  The number following is the field length.  If two digits with a decimal point in between are present the first indicates the number of positions before the decimal point and the second the number of digits after the decimal point. 
Example: a field defined as N4.2 would be in the format 9999.99 whereas N6 would be in the format 999999.

Date

D - Date field -- this means the field is stored a date.  The format is described in the text description.  The way this type of field will display in the result section of a query will be dependent upon what default the query tool you are using is set to.  Some query tools default to a date/time mode which would show the data 1998-9-03 8:00 or some have a format DD-MMM-(YY)YY.  Most query tools allow you to change this to a format you want but you must be aware of what the default is.
