V2 Format
Each file must consist of a series of records.
A"record" is a list of parameters separated by the “;” character ending with a carriage return.
The files are structured as follows:
- A header record containing transmission details.
- A variable number of records, each corresponding to a payment order.
Notes for Microsoft Excel users
- A “record” corresponds to a line in the spreadsheet.
- The header record is the first line of the file.
- The positions (“Pos.”) indicated in the tables below (01, 02 etc.) correspond to the columns of your spreadsheet. For example: “Pos. 01” corresponds to the column A, “Pos. 02” corresponds to the column B.
- If you do not want to enter the data, leave the corresponding cell empty.
- Make sure all the cells are in “Text” format.
