The Record Format section builds on the Record Format Flag from mentioned above. On the previous screen, we identified the location of Record Format Flag. In this section, we use that location to identify each unique record type. For Example, if we said the Record Format Flag started in 1 and was 1 position long, we can now say that calls in this file are Flag Value “C”, Taxes are “T”, etc. Each one of these unique record types is defined here.

In our example, it was the letter “C” but it can be any value that the system generating the data chooses.
