Formatting the Code Table Values File
The code table values file also has three tab-separated columns:
*The first column indicates the table ID number, for example 0002.
*The second column has the code set value, for example A.
*The third column gives the description of the value, for example Separated.
Each code table value appears on a subsequent line. Following is an example of the required format for a code table values file:
