ACIF Control Statements

The following ACIF control statements are in member S10056 of the SARINDEX PDS.

Note: For information about coding the ACIF control statements, see the IBM manual AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility: Application Programming Guide:

TRIGGER1=*,1,'1'          /*SELECT page group by skipping to channel 1
TRIGGER2=0,120,'PAGE 1'   /* and text string 1
FIELD1=2,9,24             /* Data field containing customer name
FIELD2=2,40,8             /* Data field containing account number
FIELD3=0,16,10            /* Data field containing division name
FIELD4='A10-'             /* constant
INDEX1='Customer name',FIELD1
INDEX2='Account Number',FIELD4, FIELD2
INDEX3='Division',FIELD3
REPORTID=PHONEBILLS
DOWNLOAD=JOHNB,
         MARYK,
         JIMT

Important! You must index reports appropriately to minimize the size of page groups because you can view AFP reports using CA Output Management Document Viewer. In this example, we used the characters "PAGE 1" as the TRIGGER to signify a new page group, then indexed on the CUSTOMER NAME and ACCOUNT NUMBER.
