The data written on the first card is shown. The number in brackets { } indicates the card
track number:
{1} SLAM-DUNK~SPORTS~EVENT=DAVID=12340999
{2} 12340=999=250205
{3} (nothing is written on track three)
Using only track 1 as the example, the “SLAM-DUNK SPORTING EVENT=” is a fixed card
data field; “DAVID” is a variable field from the database file as defined by “fa” (meaning
“field a”); the next “=” is a fixed field; and “12340999” is two variable fields from the
database file as defined by “fbfc”. The next card written has the same fixed field data and
new variable field data based on row two in the csv file. Defined in row two is the name
“MICHAEL” and the card number & validation number is “12341989”. The data in track 2 is
a variable and remains the same for all cards because it is defined as the same in the
database file. See the example here for the second card written:
{1} SLAM-DUNK~SPORTS~EVENT=MICHAEL=12341989
{2} 12341=989=250205
{3} (nothing is written on track three)
