DEFINITY ECS includes the Variable Format Records feature, which provides a
flexible means of incorporating new fields in the call detail record as new switch
features and new Call Detail Recording devices become available. The variable
format allows you to define a record in terms of its content (from a set of available
data elements), the position of its fields, and the spacing between the fields. This
method can be used to construct the 15-, 18-, and 24-word standard formats and
custom formats.
