The Statement Extract Records

Numerous different types of records are interfaced to the document composition application. However, they all share a common structure:

• The first 4 bytes are called the Printer Key. This field is a record type used by the document composition application statement template.
• The next 186 bytes are called the Sort Key. This field is used to ensure the various records used to construct a printed statement appear in the correct order in the interface file.
• The next 12 bytes are called the Mailing Key. This field is used to control the order in which the formatted statements are printed.
• The remaining bytes contain the Statement Information that appears on the printed statement. The type of information differs for each type of record.

The topics in this section describe each component.
