The first field of every record is the record format indicator. This field designates what type of data is posted in this record. The field is formatted as an X.Y number. X represents the type of data posted in this field. Y represents the format or version of the record. If new fields are added to a record, the format will increment. If this occurs, the new fields are appended only to the end of the previous version. This allows the enhanced file format to remain backwards compatible with existing software.
