Record Delimiter

A character that indicates the end of a record.  Typically, this will be an enter line-feed combination, used in MS-DOS.  The delimiter must be selected so that it does not occur within the body of a field or record, or it will be difficult or impossible to determine if it is a delimiter or data.

Available record delimiters include the following:

• ,

• #

• @

• :

• ;

• &

• <

• >

• CRLF (carriage return/line feed combination)

• CR

• LF
