If using as a name field enter an 'S' if the surname appears first or enter an 'F' if the first name appears first in location 80. This field should be left blank if treating the name as separate fields.

Omit titles, e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms. DR or MD, from the name field. Use uppercase letters only. Do not use punctuation. Parts of a compound surname must be connected by a hyphen. Leading letters (e.g., 'O', 'Mc', etc.) must not be separated from the rest of the surname by a blank.

Note that each line in the file is an 80 byte record, terminated by a carriage return.  Files may be rejected if carriage returns are not placed in the correct position within the file.
