Chapter 3      Using the ALI Formatting Tool

Using the ALI Formatting Tool Interface

ALI Formatting Tool Fields

You can edit the following fields using AFT:

The header and trailer fields. The ALI Formatting Tool (AFT) displays all the 

ALI record data in the ALI tab. The ALI file consists of one header record and 

one trailer record only; there is not an individual header and trailer record for 

each ELIN record.

The Function/Transaction Code field. Refer to the 

Appendix A,  Using the 

ALI Formatting Tool for SBC Pacific Bell 

 for more information.

Service provider specific fields. Refer to 

Appendix A,  Using the ALI 

Formatting Tool for SBC Pacific Bell 

 for more information.

You cannot edit the following fields using AFT:

The ALI records fields that you configure and edit through Emergency 

Responder. They are disabled (greyed out) in AFT.

The record count field. This trailer field cannot be edited in AFT because 

AFT calculates this number internally based on the number of records 

selected to export.
