8.9.2 Variable Length Segment
The variable length segment of the audit record includes 6 ASCII fields delimited by a byte having a
value of 0xFF (decimal 255). The table below lists the field order and their possible lengths.
The cart number field. If the
transaction involves a cart (audio
item), the cart number will be in this
field. Otherwise, the field will be
empty.
Customer number field. If the
transaction involves a log item and
a customer number was included in
the log, that value appears in this
field. Otherwise, the field will be
empty.
Description field. If the transaction
involves a cart (audio item), the
description of the item appears in
this field. If the transaction is of
another type, text appearing in this
field could be a decoded switcher
message or information about an
automated function or action.
Agency tape number field. If the
transaction involved a log item and
an agency number was included in
the log, that value appears in this
field. Otherwise, the field would
include raw switcher data for an
audio switcher transaction or be
empty.
Switcher message field. If the
transaction involves an audio
switcher, the data in this field
represents the switcher command
type and result.
AnsiChar [ 14 ] (Original)
AnsiChar [ 30 ] (dcsTools)
Window name field. Originally 14
characters in length, expanded to
30 for dcsTools products. If the
transaction involves an automation
function or action, its name appears
in this field. For XStudio, if the
transaction involves a log item, the
unique log record ID appears in this
field. Otherwise, the field is empty.
All text stored in the variable length segment of the audit record is ANSI text. This convention has been
retained for compatibility across all audio delivery systems that write records described in this
document.
