    That's a really good point! Sorry.

    The line should look like

    ABBE02799799690073462

    the 7997996 is the packed decimal field that is converting to `pr%. Unfortunately, the packed fields vary on each line so I can't do a straight regex of those characters to the correctly numerical form.
