What will be the format of the tab-delimited file?
The first row of data within the file defines the column names for the remainder of the file. Subsequent rows contain usage data in the column order defined by the column headings. The format of the file may change over time. Dialog will release new macros as needed. Any customer-developed macros used to process the .TXT usage data must use the column headings as the definition of the location and purpose of the data. The list below shows how the .TXT data file is currently defined. Column Headings Description User Number Fixed length 6 Sub Account Variable length; maximum 32 File Number Variable length; maximum 3 User Name Variable length; maximum 30 Service Variable length – either “Dialog Services” or “Dialog Select” File Name Variable length; maximum 21 Search Quantity Variable length = 0.000; maximum length 14 Search Amount Variable length = 0.00; maximum length 16 Output Quantity Variable length = 000; maximum length 10 Output Amount Variable length = 0.00; maximum length 16 Aler
