MICR Parsing

This section describes the MICR parsing in more detail and includes several examples of
useful parsing variations. It also describes how to create a parsing format and how to
create and maintain an exception table.
If you would like a copy of a software utility that performs these functions rather than
developing your own program using the command codes described in this section, please
contact NCR. The software utility can be used as provided or can be incorporated into your
own application.
