Jim's notes:

- source directory will reside on a Windows NTFS file system volume.
- end-of-Record will be designated by Carriage Return and Line Feed
- character set is "plain Western" (ISO Latin 1)
- record mockup:

- "PHN" + "Dependent #" + "Carrier ID" (in the above example "9123456773", "00", BC") work together as an identifier

- format specification:

A0A'b'0A0:

        - standard Canadian postal code format which is 3 characters:
                - (upper case letter + single digit number + upper case letter)
                - followed by a breaking space
                - followed by (number+letter number)

US Zip code:

        - 12345 or 12345-1234

Dependant # / Carrier ID

I did some checking, and it seems in BC a corner case about the "00" being instead "66". The provision to designate newborns (as dependent "66" and, in the case of multiple births, "64" … "63") seems now obsoleted by the ability of the hospital to log into the provincial system and generate a new Personal Health Number. Any such legacy values in Medical Manager would not be to drive the slave.

The PHN can therefore be taken as unique within carrier ID. While the following may be far fetched, there is no agreement between Canada's provinces to avoid collisions, so it could be possible to exist

        BC.CA MOH | Personal Health Number | 90123456780
        ON.CA MOH | Personal Health Number | 90123456780
