You can add entries to the industry key type file using the following syntax.

sectors |
The industry categories of the specified industry type. These values correspond to the sector codes listed in the industry sector file (bizIndustryCategoryCode.dat). You can list as many categories as apply for each type, but they must be entered with a space between each and no line breaks, and they must correspond to an entry in the industry sector file. |
