STANDARD Mask Format
The STANDARD mask is the format used by default when a new data file is created.
The following table lists the expected order of column values for each record, with the first ten characters (1-10) allotted to the first column value, the second ten characters (11-20) allotted to the second column value, and so on. Certain columns are mandatory.

---|---|---|---|
Investigator | 01:10 CHAR | Investigator | No |
Site | 11:20 CHAR | Site | No |
patient | 21:30 CHAR | Patient | Yes |
document_number | 31:50 CHAR | Document Number: Leave document _number blank if your location uses document number derivation (see "User-Defined Identifier Handling" in the Oracle Clinical Application Programming Interface Guide).

subevent_number | 71:72 NUM |

dci_date | 73:80 CHAR |
Visit Date (YYYYMMDD): dci_date = dcm_date, and dci_time = dcm_time; if dci_time= null, both dci_time and dcm_time = null. Note: Do not enter zero to represent an unknown part of the date (for example, 20110000).
