10-6 STRATA CS ADMINISTRATOR MANUAL
BETA DOCUMENT - PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
Formatting the text file
Type each account code as a separate line in the text file. Blank lines are permitted
and are ignored by the system. If you want to add a comment line that is ignored
by the system, begin the line with a semicolon (;).
Account codes can contain only the numbers 0 through 9 and the two wild card
characters (see the next section).
Note:
Account codes in the text file must meet your account code length
requirements. For example, if your account codes must be between 2 and 4 digits,
a 5-digit account code will be rejected even if it appears in the text file. See “Setting
general account code options” on page 10-3 for instructions on setting account
code length requirements.
Using wild card characters
You can use two wild card characters when you enter valid account codes in the
text file:
n Question mark (?). Indicates any single digit. For example, an account
code entry of 12? would make 123, 124, and 129 all valid account codes.
In this case, however, neither 12 nor 1233 would be valid account codes.
n Percent sign (%). Indicates any number of digits, including none. For
example, an account code entry of 12% would make 12, 123, 1233, and
12789213120 all valid account codes.
Wild card characters, if they are used, must be the final characters in an account
code. You can use both wild card characters in the same account code, but if you
do so, the % character must be the final character.
