For GLI input:
Only one record at a time might be input. Continuation records are not allowed.
Each record might be up to 2,000 characters long.
The first six characters of each input record identify the record type, as shown in the following table:
| Record type | Record ID | Record Description |
|---|---|---|
| Header | HEADER | Mandatory. One only, first record of input |
| Ispec | Ispec | Mandatory for Ispecs used. Must precede data for that Ispec, in that format |
| Data | ispec | Input data for a predefined Ispec and format |
| Finish | FINISH | Optional. Last record of input |
You can redefine an Ispec format or format type with a new Ispec record. All subsequent Data records for that Ispec must correspond to the redefined format.
The record types are described in detail in the following subsections.
