Header Block
The header block contains metadata for use by file readers to identify the type, version and format of the file. This is a mandatory block. The keywords that are used in this block are:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FILE_TYPE | quoted_string | The only legal value is 'gbs'. |
| FILE_VERSION | quoted_string | The only legal value is '1'. |
| FILE_FORMAT | quoted_string | The only legal value is 'ASCII'. |
The following is an example of a HEADER block:
$-----------------------------------------------------------------HEADER
[HEADER]
FILE_TYPE = 'gbs'
FILE_VERSION = '1'
FILE_FORMAT = 'ASCII'
