6.2.5. Types of Elements When Transmitting Call Detail Data 
Each data record exchanged between OpenScape 4000 and the DPA in the
framework of call detail recording consists of particular individual
components, so-called data elements.
All elements are coded in EBCDIC. Numerical message elements are interpreted
as decimals in EBCDIC strings.
You should distinguish between
- elements with a fixed specification such as record identifier, reference, and others,
- configurable elements. You can put together the configurable part of the data block format (see Section 59.4.2, "Message "CDR information block on demand" or "CDR information block with immediate output"") from these elements with AMO FTBL or AMO TEXT. You can set the length, justification, fill character, and decimal separation character (decimal point or comma), if any, for each element.
The elements with a fixed specification and those that are configurable
are listed in detail in Section 59.5.1,
"Elements with a Fixed Specification" and Section 59.5.2,
"Configurable Elements".
