LloydsLink BACS
This is a standard text (ASCII) file, with no header or trailer. It contains nothing but fixed length BACS standard layout records, each terminated by CR/LF.
Assuming field 12 (BACS processing day of data record), is not included, each record will be exactly 100 characters, followed by the CR/LF (Hex 0D0A). The final record can additionally include an end of file marker (Hex 1A).
Valid BACS characters are defined in ASCII as follows:
Numeric: characters 0 - 9 inclusive.
Letters: (upper case only) A - Z inclusive
Characters: Space, &, - (hyphen), . (full stop), / (forward slash)
This information is provided for guidance only; you should always confirm the details before passing the file to BACS software.
