Sir, Field 2 contains a static text that my company will imput for each record, field 3 is the same, as with field 4. Field 5 is blank. Field 9 and 10 are blank as well. Field 13 and 14 used to contain data but is being suspended for this run so will contain blanks. So all of those other than 2, 3 and 4 should be space filled. Field 11 you are correct, I mis-spoke earlier, I had assumed it was seperate but as I looked into it I noticed it is all one line. My apologies! And it is one header file where each line is a customer record, and one detail file for all records where starting line is 0. Again I apologize for the miss communication for field 11.
