Royline BACS
Royline is a BACS format for the Royal Bank of Scotland
Royline will accept forward dated payment, so an entry window will be offered enabling the entry of the date on which the payments will be credited.
Royline also requires a Payment List Name, the field for the entry of this value is found on the same entry window.
The Import File
Import records are of fixed length, hence, if values are not set for optional fields the appropriate amount of space for that field will be included in the record.
However, the Header and Control records need not be padded to match the length of the payment record.
Text fields will be converted to upper case by the Import process.
Text fields must conform to the BACS character set shown below.

All data in the file must be restricted to the following characters:
