Structure of the PC5 Output Format

The PC5 format is used to output incoming and outgoing call data (ICL and OCL)
on
• stand-alone PBXs and
• PINX in private networks.
It is the most comprehensive PC format and is generally recommended when
upgrading with a new PC application for the acquisition and evaluation of call
data.
The data is output in ASCII format in data fields. The data fields have a fixed field
length. All the data fields together form a data record. The data record begins
with a Tab and ends with a Carriage Return and Line Feed. The individual data
fields are separated by a Tab. These control characters are output with hexadeci-
mal values as per Tab. 2.81.

Designation Meaning
HT Horizontal tab
CR Carriage Return
LF Line Feed
A data field contains the following information:
• The data field name
• Data format
• The data field formatting
• The data field length
A data field can be identified by its position in the data record. For example, the
data field after the 6th HT tab is the "call duration" data field (Tab. 2.84).
