Statement Detail Format Types

H = The line item is a “Heading” and only the description is printed. ‘ ‘ = A blank line item is a “Detail” and will require further definition. T# = The line item is a “Total” of the balances on the statement and is printed. Z# = The line item is a “Zeroing” of the accumulating totals and does not print the totals.

Format types T # and Z # provide for accumulating or zeroing various levels of totals, from one to nine, as shown in the chart on the following page. The number identifies which of the nine registers will be totaled or zeroed. A “T” or a “Z” must always be entered with a register number.

Specifically, format type T # refers to the accumulated total in registers 1 through 9. In place of the ‘#’ sign, insert the appropriate register number. Think of the program as maintaining nine “adding machines.” Every line item entered is automatically added to all nine machines. Whenever a T #, such as T 2, is encountered by the system, the current total in the corresponding adding machine is printed and all other machines, up to and including the machine that was totaled, are reset to zero. For example, when T 2 prints the accumulated total in adding machine 2, it then resets machins 1 and 2 to zero.

The Z # format is used to zero an “adding machine.” The “#” sign refers to the accumulated total in one of the nine registers. Insert the appropriate register number in place of the “#” sign. When a Z # is encountered by the system, the current total in the corresponding adding machine and all other machines, up to and including the machine identified by the #, are reset to zero. For example, a Z 3 would zero machines 1, 2, and 3.

Use of the Z # format is necessary when grouping accounts into a subtotal. The accumulators must be zeroed so the previous accounts will not be included in the next subtotal. The same function is performed as with T # items except the totals are not printed.
