Global Information Record
This is a "header" record that contains information about the extract run as a whole.
Note: Please be aware that if you do not sort your extract file by CIS Sort Key after it is produced, this record will physically
be the last record on the extract file. Also note that this record
will only be produced by the various letter extract processes if you
supply the appropriate parameter value (CNTL-REC-SW=Y). Refer to Extract
Processes for more information about the letter extract programs.
