Card type location
Quick reference
For multicard records only: To define the location of the card type in the record, type:
struct; crd=cn
More information
Defining the card type location is much the same as defining the position of the serial number in the record. The keyword is crd=cn for a single digit card type or crd=c(m,n) for a card type of more than one digit. m and n are column numbers only, not card type and column number.
For example:
struct;read=2;ser=c(1,4);crd=c5
means that you have a multicard record with serial numbers in columns 1 to 4 and the card type in column 5 of each card. Each card is read into the row corresponding to its card number.
