Field Types
There are six field types used in the ADAP command line input and output
records.
C (Character) Set of characters enclosed by delimiters. The default
delimiter is the double quote ("). Any character
(alphabetic, numeric, special character, or blank) may be
in the string. The maximum width column specifies the
maximum number of characters that may be in the
character string.
N (Numeric) Contains a positive or negative integer or floating point
number. A minus sign (-) precedes a negative number.
The maximum width specifies the largest number of digits
in the field.
If the maximum width for the field contains a decimal
point, this indicates that the numeric field is a floating
point value. For example 3.2 means that there can be up
to three digits before the decimal point and up to two
digits after the decimal.
NOTE:
If numeric data is unavailable from the voice mail system,
the system may place a non-numeric warning string (such
as "Traffic data unavailable") on a numeric field of the
screen that ADAP is attempting to access. Under these
conditions, ADAP is expecting to output a numeric value
when the voice mail platform is providing a non-numeric
string. The ADAP command places a -1 into the numeric
output field instead of any warning string.
D (Date) 8-digit date field, in yyyymmdd format. dd defaults to 01, if
the field provided by the voice mail system does not
include a day-of-month.
