4.4.1.2.1 Table Structure Rules
Tables are composed of four elements:

Table-Title - The Table's string name in square brackets. In the example above, the
Table Title is:
[ SS7_SIG_INT_ID_TABLE ].

Format Line - This line specifies the table's fields by their string names. In the example
above, the format line is: FORMAT SS7_SIG_IF_ID_INDEX =
SS7_SIG_IF_ID_VALUE, SS7_SIG_IF_ID_NAME,
SS7_SIG_IF_ID_OWNER_GROUP, SS7_SIG_IF_ID_LAYER, SS7_SIG_IF_ID_NAI,
SS7_SIG_M3UA_SPC
• The first word MUST be "FORMAT" (in capital letters), followed by indices field
names, and after '=' sign, all data fields names should be listed.
• Items must be separated by ',' sign.
• The Format Line must end with ';' sign.

Data Line(s) - The actual values for parameters are specified in each Data line. The
values are interpreted according to the format line. The first word must be the table's
string name.
• Items must be separated by a comma (',' sign).
• A Data line must end with a semicolon (';' sign).
• Indices (in both the Format line and the Data lines) must all appear in order, as
determined by the table's specific documentation. The Index field must NOT be
omitted. Each row in a table must be unique. For this reason, each table defines
one or more Index fields. The combination of the Index fields determines the 'line-
tag'. Each line-tag may appear only once. In the example provided in the table
above, Table Structure Example', there is only one index field. This is the
simplest way to mark rows.
• Data fields in the Format line may use a sub-set of all of the configurable fields in
a table only. In this case, all other fields are assigned with the pre-defined default
value for each configured line.
• The order of the Data fields in the Format line is not significant (unlike the Index-
fields). Field values in Data lines are interpreted according to the order specified
in the Format line.
• Specifying '$$' in the Data line causes the pre-defined default value assigned to
the field for the given line.
• The order of Data lines is insignificant.
• Data lines must match the Format line, i.e. must contain exactly the same number
of Indices and Data fields and should be in exactly the same order.
• A line in a table is identified by its table-name and its indices. Each such line may
appear only once in the ini file.

End-of-Table-Mark: Marks the end of a table. Same as Table title, but the string name
is preceded by '\'.
Below is an example of the table structure in an ini file.
; Table: Items Table.
; Fields: Item_Name, Item_Serial_Number, Item_Color, Item_weight.
; NOTE: Item_Color is not specified. It will be given default
value.
[Items_Table]
; Fields declaration
Format Item_Index = Item_Name, Item_Serial_Number, Item_weight;
