Tag Identifiers
These three-digit numbers are used to identify fields. The three-
digit number is used instead of a name to minimize use of disk 
space. The Dictionary file (ACC.DIC) provides the field names 
associated with each tag identifier.

String Information
String information for record field values is stored inside braces 
(for example, {this is a string}). This allows spaces within strings 
and stores only the necessary characters of a string value. String 
fields for which no value is specified are stored as {}, instead of 
using blanks or the maximum field size.
n
New Records
New records are separated by a <CR> character to increase 
readability.

Separators 
A typical record in any of the accounting files is a sequence of 
pairs of tag identifiers and field values separated by commas. The 
tag identifier and field value are separated by a colon. 
Example
The following is an example of the format of an accounting file record:
  
1:  3,  2:{this is a string},  <CR>
In this example, the record has fields identified by tags 1 and 2. Since 
these values don't use 3 digits for the tag identifier, spaces are stored 
instead, to provide consistency and simplicity while using only a small 
amount of extra space. In this example, the value for the field tagged 
1 is the integer 3 and the value for the field tagged 2 is a string. The 
<CR> represents the carriage return character.
