EGS Export File Data Definition
The EGS data export file consists of 4 record types as described below. Each field within the records is separated by the pipe symbol. Although a field is mandated by a certain number of characters, the exact length of the data can be less than the column, but not more. In all cases, the termination of the field will again be with the existence of the pipe symbol (|). For a numeric value, it is not necessary to pad either left or right with zeros. Decimal placement is based on the property data.
Note: Tables/Views along with the respective Column Names are highlighted in red. All amounts are shown in the bank currency.
Each file export conducted will always have a Batch Header record sent. This record must be the first record in the file. The format of the record is as follows.
