Company Batch Header Record

In each table, the Field Name column represents the name of the section that holds specific characters of the text string. The Position column lists the position of the section within the text string. The Contents column provides information about the characters entered in specific parts of the text string. For example, for a company batch header record, Record Type Code is at the beginning of the text string and is always the number “5”. The program always recognizes the number “5” in position “1” as the Record Type Code of a company batch header record.
