Note Note

^1. These fields are extended to support wider value ranges. Therefore values in these fields represent the low-order digits, which must be combined with the corresponding high-order digit in the extension fields of individual records.

^2. The default size of the transaction number is 4 digits. It can be changed up to 6 digits with Configurator: RegParm->General->Max Trans No. This specifies the maximum transaction number to be generated. The maximum number can be 999999. The default is 9999.

For CVTLOG output use switch -j##: This option displays the specified number of digits of the transaction number in the ASCII TLOG.
POS.INI: CVTLOG_TXNNUMDIGITS=# where # can be 4, 5 or 6. This option will output the specified number of digits of the transaction number in the real time trickle TLOG.

^3. A new option has been added to provide for a Business Date that includes a 4 digit year. When this option is enabled, the Business Date in the ASCII TLOG file will be formatted as MMDDYYYY, instead of MMDD, which is a default.

POS.INI: CVTLOG_FULLBUSINESSDATE=Y. This option will output the real time ASCII TLOG records with the Business Date formatted as MMDDYYYY
For the CVTLOG utility, use switch -BDY. This option will output the ASCII TLOG records with the Business Date formatted as MMDDYYYY rather than MMDD.

If the 4 digit year Business Date option is enabled, all data following the Business Date field in each ASCII transaction log record will be shifted to the right by 4 characters.

^4. By default, this field will not be shown in the header record.

For CVTLOG output use switch -k. This option adds the currency code to the TLOG header
POS.INI: CVTLOG_USECURRENCYCODEFLAG=Y. This option will output the currency code field to real time trickle TLOGs.
