Hello spacebar,

Thanks for your help and for share that link, I'll check it!

The structure description is very long. But all is almost the same as the follwing description of the firsts bytes.


Code:
Position........Bytes........Value.....................................Field Description[/COLOR]
0...................1...............Numeral 1..............................Record type, administrative data ISO coded.
1...................12..............Identifier 1 - 12 characters.....Site Identity (12 most significant characters in the site identity, ISO coded.)
13..................2...............Digit string 00 - 99.................Starting year for recording ISO coded.
15..................2...............Digit string 01 - 12.................Starting month for recording ISO coded.
17..................2...............Digit string 01 - 31.................Starting day for recording ISO coded.
19..................2...............Digit string 00 - 23.................Starting hour for recording ISO coded.
