Manufacturer Code Requirements
This field contain the integer 8 represents digits belonging to the
manufacturer code (that is, if your site uses a manufacturer code). The
limit is 16 digits.
You must append the card’s actual manufacturer code after the LRC
(L) whereby this code becomes the last digits of the structure. For
example, if the manufacturer code on your card is 576, then the latter
half of the CustomABAFormat string would look similar to this:
...S44XXX888ZL576
where CyberStation will reject any cards that does not contain the
number 576 in the location specified by the code 888 in the
CustomABAFormat string.
Shared-Field Integer Requirements
In two or more fields, you may share any digit that is read from a
person’s card. To do so, use one or more of the following hexadecimal
integers in your string structure:
3, 5, 6, 7, 9, A, B, C, D, E, or F
Each of these integers tells CyberStation to read the digit and use it in
the field specified by the integer. For example, the integer 3 means the
digit is used in the card number and the site code. The integer D means
the digit is used in the site code, the card issue code, and the
manufacturer code (See the table below).
Note: To accommodate shared-field integers, your string structure
must be fixed-length.
You must place the overlapping (shared) integer in the structure from
left to right because CyberStation parses digits from left to right.
For example, suppose you were sharing two numbers in the site code
and card number. (The integer 3 specifies a share between these two
fields.) Suppose the person’s site code is 75, and the card number is
75944. The site code and card number fields in your structure would
look similar to this:
