Data Packages

Unicode

All information on record length refers to the maximum record length plus CR/LF.
A record may be shorter if the rest of the record consists only of blanks. However, records always end with a
CR/LF (Carriage Return (decimal 13) / Line Feed (decimal 10) combination.
References to Key Tables within this format description are abbreviated with “KT”.
References to other data tables in the format description are marked with “->“.
The format is Unicode-compatible. The following points have to be observed:
• all data tables are coded in UTF-8.
• Unicode characters may only be used in language-dependent fields in the tables 012, 030, 031, 035 and 327.
These fields are marked with the data type “U” in the column “Type”.

• Unicode in terms of the TecAlliance services is restricted to characters of the Basic Multilingual Plane of
the categories L (Letter), M (Mark), N (Number), P (Punctuation), S (Symbol), und Zs (Space)

• Article Number (ArtNo) is of type “U” as well

• All other fields are still limited to the character set of ISO 8859-1.
• The field ‘key’ in table 052 may only contain the characters A..Z, a..z and 0..9.
• TxtModNo may contain the scope of 7-Bit ASCII (with the exception of control characters and TAB)

Primary Key Information

The Primary Key that is given for each table indicates the PK for one single brand. If the data of different brands
is merged into one single database each Primary Key needs to be amended by the BrandNo field.

TAF vs. CSV (for data Package recipients)

The regular format for data exchange is based on text files in which the fields within the individual data records
of the tables have a fixed length and a fixed position.

The documentation of the individual tables in this document reflects exactly this table structure. Each field has
a length and a position (column) within the table. This format is established and recognized in the market.

With the beginning of the third quarter of 2020, the recipients of data packages (data users) will alternatively
have the data packages available in CSV format.

In this CSV format, the individual fields in each data record (row) are delimited by a fixed separator.

The structure of the CSV files follows the following rules:

- The file has the name <table number>.csv
- The first line contains the field names (separated by a semicolon)
- Separator is the semicolon (;)
- The individual values are enclosed in quotation marks (")
- Fields without values are specified in the form "".
- Each CSV table contains the same fields as the corresponding table in unchanged order.
- The contents of the fields correspond to those of the version 2.5 format. Numeric fields are therefore
output analogously with leading zeros.
- All files are UTF-8 encoded.
An example from the TecDoc reference data (first data records of the country table 10):

Recipients of data packages can choose to be delivered in the classic TAF format (fixed record lengths) or in CSV
format. A comprehensive stock of test data in CSV format is available.

TecDoc Format versions information

New TecDoc Format content and structures – a general remark

It turns out in the past months and years that new requirements for new content in TecDoc data are a constant
flow of input and in many cases need to be processed immediately – e.g. to support new validations in order to
increase data quality and to support DQM measures.
Therefore we reserve the option to provide additional structures and to extend existing tables by additional
fields at the end of the table structure without a pre-announcement six months upfront.
We will of course announce the additional content but the time between announcement and implementation
might be shorter.
Please note that this only applies for additional structures that do not interfere with the existing structures and
content in a way that you would not be able to use the existing data without any change.

Changes in TecDoc Format version 2.5 (available in January 2021)

The version 2.5 is published in order to add tables for article criteria from the logistics area of application.
“Logistic information” in this case means any logistic information concerning the article itself.
Any further information on packaging hierarchies is not part of the TecDoc Format 2.5.

To make the usage possible as an optional AddOn without interfering with existing data and processes we add
three tables that include the necessary information.
The structure follows the generic approach of article criteria as given and used in the tables 50, 30 and 202.
The new tables are added as follows:

031: Language Descriptions for Article Criteria (Logistics)

053: Criteria Table (Logistics)
213: Article Criteria (Logistics)

Furthermore we integrated some minor extensions in order to close gaps or correct errors from the past
versions.
Please read the chapter “Format Changes” for all the details.

More detailed information about the specific criteria and the schedule have been and will be published in the
regular Data Distribution Mailings and in the Data Distribution wiki at www.tecalliance.net

2.0.14, Document property “Status”, 13/12/2021

Changes in TecDoc Format version 2.6 (not available before July 2021)

The version 2.6 is published in order to support two major topics:

1) Data Quality improvements (DQM) / Reference Data table changes

The data Quality activities carried out continuously by the TecAlliance in close alignment with customer experts
resulted in a more standardized way to use criteria in two ways:
- Which criteria to use for specific Generic Article
- How to format the value of a criteria

Both topics are considered:

- New table 331 containing

o All mandatory criteria for certain Generic Articles
o All optional criteria for certain generic Articles permitted for use on the first catalogue page
o Criteria that are not permitted to be used at all for certain generic criteria

- New table 332 containing the permitted key values for the key-table criteria of table 331 (similar to able
330)

- New table 333 containing formatting constraints for criteria. General constraints or some special rules
for specific Generic Article context are given.

The structure and content of tables 328 / 329 /330 remains available for compatibility reasons and for those
Generic Articles where the DQM measures have not been finished.

Minor changes:

Tables 328/329 do not contain any country restriction option any more. The field was not used at all and will be
set to “reserved”

The fields Art and Lnk in table 329 are not used anymore and are set to const=0 for compatibility reasons. Table
050 is the single point of truth for this information.

2.0.14, Document property “Status”, 13/12/2021

2) Logistic Information

The option to add logistical criteria to end user units (Format Version 2.5 extension) is further extend by the
option to give information about the packaging hierarchy for shipping.

- New table 214 containing the packaging items including the amount objects inside and the type,
measurement and weight of the packaging unit. A standard for measuring packaging objects is
provided as well.

- New table 216

Contains optional country restrictions for a certain packaging unit.

- New table 218

Packaging Items Lot Sizes

- New table 334

containing a list of Generic Articles that might require the distribution of a safety data Sheet as part of
the Documents (Digital Assets). A new validation might be in place to recommend (and later require)
the existence of a safety data sheet for products of Certain Generic Articles.

- Change in table 053:

The criteria for logistical information are changed in a way that some information is not used anymore.
These are set to const = 0 for compatibility reasons.
Furthermore one flag is added instead (at an already existing and not used position) to indicate if a
logistics criteria is permitted for use on end user units (table 213), on packaging units (table 214) or
both of them.

Various information on content

9-digit KTypNr/NTypNr

Of the 9 digits in the fields KTypNr/NTypNr, or their counterparts in VKN_VALUE and VknZielArt, currently only
the last 6 digits are used for the numbering of vehicles. The first three digits remain unused until further notice
and are to be filled with leading zeros “000” in the data exchange format.
Please Note: The field VKN_VALUE in the data table 222 is currently only 6 digits. This designing error was only
noticed in April 2013 and will be rectified at the next format version. Due to the lack of time until the first pilot in
the fall of 2013 the adaptation to 9 digits will not be done now.

Vehicle Classes

The following additions will be available for productive use in the fourth quarter of 2019 at the earliest.
Please note the announcements of TecAllianice via data Distribution Mailing.

The format provides a definition for a fine-grained classification of vehicles. This classification opens up the
possibility to clearly identify further vehicle classes within the vehicle tables 120 (passenger car/kTyp) and 532
(commercial vehicle/nTyp). This extension goes beyond the existing vehicle classes "Transporter" and
"Motorcycles" and focuses primarily on the field of electromobility.
Without adjustments in the data exchange structure, it is thus possible to derive further vehicle classes (e.g.
electric motorcycles) from the identifying keys kType and nType according to a fixed set of rules.
These new vehicle classes can be understood as extensions in the sense of the linkage target types of the data
structure. You can find these valid linkage target types in key table 271 as follows:
2 TecDoc PC
3 TecDoc Motorcycle
4 TecDoc E-PC
5 TecDoc E-LCV
6 TecDoc E-Motorcycle
16 TecDoc CV
17 TecDoc Bus
18 TecDoc Tractor
20 TecDoc E-Bus
999 TecDoc LCV

In the context of linkages (tables 400ff), only linkage target types 2 (passenger cars) and 16 (commercial
vehicles) are used so far. The present set of rules now permits a resilient and comprehensible transfer of this
rather rough view into a more fine-grained vehicle structure.

In this format description we provide the following information:

1) A list of the vehicle classes in the TecDoc data (KT271 - see above).
2) A set of rules for the conversion of the kTyp/nTyp system into a more detailed view.
3) A reference to the respective attributes provided for the vehicle classes in Tables 120 and 532.
4) A new record type 115 with the current mappings of kType/nType relationship target types (2/16)
derived from 2) for the extended view according to key table 271 (see above). This record type is part of
the data packages until further notice.

Mandatory attributes of the linkage target tables

The attributes in vehicle tables 120 and 532 are primarily designed for "classic" passenger cars and commercial
vehicles with combustion engines – and so are other linkage targets engines and axles. The tried and tested
granularity in the area of car (kTyp) and commercial vehicle (nTyp) is based on the system of always providing a
defined number of features and clearly describing vehicles. With the integration of vehicles in the area of
electromobility, this basis needs some adjustment in definition of mandatory information
In addition to the respective reference to other TecDoc Format tables, each table for linkage targets contains a
number of mandatory attributes that must be filled. Since several linkage targets are summarized in the TecDoc
Format tables, there are exceptions which are also mentioned in the following paragraphs.

About Packaging, Quantity Units and Lot Sizes

Logistic information about packaging and batch/lot size information is part of TecDoc data for a long time and
is going to be extended by more reliable and well structured options step by step starting with version 2.6 of the
TecDoc format.

The „classic“ part of the TecDoc data can be found inside the tables 200 and 212.

Both tables refer to the end-user unit. Table 212 allows information on the standard packaging of this end-user
unit - how many units (QuantUnit) with how many items each (QuantPerUnit)?
In relation to these units (QuantUnit), two batch sizes (BatchSize1, BatchSize2) can be listed in table 200 - in the
sense of a hierarchy (BatchSize2 must be multiple of BatchSize1)

The new logistical information in table 214 (and 216) is intended to supplement (or also replace) this in a
manner that a complete packaging hierarchy can be provided in which each outer packaging has its own article
number.

Table 218 extends this option to include lot sizes that are uniquely assigned to the end-user unit or to a defined
outer packaging and that can optionally also be provided individually for defined trading partners. For the latter
option, please refer to the mailing to be published at the beginning of August.

In fact, there are two areas that contain similar information. We have chosen this approach in order not to force
anyone into using a new structure. We believe that the new structures will be easier, clearer and more flexible to
use for logistical purposes. We therefore recommend any data supplier to switch to this new structure as soon
as data maintenance is available in DMM software (please follow the announcements).

Annotation:
CC is an optional attribute what may be a problem from a technical point of view. Some Database Management

used by TecDoc. We are working on future format generations that will not use constellations like that.

Notes: Any Data Supplier may request TecDoc to create new criteria needed for their
articles/linkages. Such new criteria then also become available to all the other Data
Suppliers.

Criteria of type 'D' (date) must be given in the format 'yyyymm' (four-digit year, two-digit
month, e.g. 202110 for October 2021)

(*) This is for future use if more criteria on packaging level items will be needed as given in table. With start
of 2.6 this is const=0

Validation rules on numeric criteria (type = ‘N’):

1. Characters "0" to "9", comma "," as well as plus "" and minus "-" are permitted
2. A comma may not be used at the beginning or end of the value
3. A comma may only be used once within a value
4. Only the comma may be used as the decimal separator
5. Thousands seperators must not be used
6. Exactly one "+" or exactly one "-" may only be used at the beginning of a numeric value
7. Spaces must not be used

All(!) characters are part of the maximum length of an attribute.

Version 2.5 annotation:

In version 2.5 only article criteria are added. As this may be extended to linkage criteria in the future the “OK-xxx”
field remain part of the table.

334 Generic Articles requiring a Safety data Sheet … New table in format
version 2.6

Definition
for certain products the provision of a safety data sheet is mandatory or strongly recommended. Safety data
Sheets can already be distributed as digital assets (documents)= using tables 213 and 232 and indicating the
document to be a Safety Data Sheet (231.DocTermNorm = 6).
To improve the quality of data and support the industry during data maintenance process this table includes
those Generic Articles where the delivery of a safety data Sheet is at least strongly recommended.

If you as a data user want to make use of this extended option in your systems, you can replace the entry in the
VKNZielArt field in the provided linkage tables (400ff) according to the mapping in table 115. To do this,
proceed as follows:

1) Find the pair of values VKNZielNo/VKNZielArt of linkage in table 115 (VKNZielNo/VKZielArt_Original)

2) In the linkage (tables 400ff), replace the value in the VKNZielArt field with the value in table 115 in the
VKNZielArtExtended field.
As a result, you receive link tables according to the new, more detailed system.

The breakup of the kTyp/nTyp system represents a fundamental paradigm shift, which can be accompanied
by extensive consequences for interfaces and application systems. For this reason, we provide this mapping
rule as an optional supplement. There is no obligation to use it.

This information is available to all recipients of data packets.

Generic Articles

With the TecDoc Format version 2.6 some adjustments and extensions become effective to further improve the
quality of the TecDoc catalogue data.

The changes follow the already published and reported new rules of the TecDoc Data Quality Management
(DQM) initiative started in 2020.

The use of criteria can be limited - depending on the generic article - as follows:

Mandatory Criteria:
Generic Articles may expect specific criteria for a mandatory usage.
The information is given in table 328 as before.

Permitted optional criteria for first catalogue page:

The usage of other criteria than the mandatory ones is further restricted as far as the first catalogue page is
considered. These permitted criteria for each Generic Article are provided in the new table 339.

Even if table 329 incl. proposed criteria still remains for now, all other criteria can still be used but must not be
displayed on the first catalogue page.

Permitted criteria (key table) values for specific criteria/GA combinations

Some criteria of type “key table” are further restricted in a way that only parts of the key values are permitted for
usage on certain Generic Articles. This option is extended to first page optional (table 329) criteria.
This woks without change in structure as the Sequence Number (SerqNo) filed in tables 328 and 329 is already
unique for all entries in both tables. So a Sequence Number in table 330 uniquely identifies entries in table 328
or table 329.

As this is not a very comfortable way of referencing data we provide a (redundant) extension by introducing
table 331 that is basically a merge of tables 328 and 329. It does not provide new content but a more
comfortable way to handle table 330 restrictions.

One of the main points of criticism about quality of TecDoc data was the nearly arbitrary use of criteria of type N
(numerical) or C (Character). Especially comparing the content of the same numerical criterion values of
different brands to identify a spare part shows huge differences in formatting that makes catalogues hard to
use.

Table 332: Criteria constraints

This new table contains – for specific Generic Articles – some unambiguous formatting rules for some
important criteria. For instance the schema for some numerical values is limited to a maximum digits after a
separator (that is standardised as well). The tables uses Regular Expressions to describe the constraint. They
can directly be used inside software modules. As they are hard to understand for non technical people the types
of regular expressions used inside the table are listed and explained.

following <tbd> standard notation

Examples for Regular Expressions used in table 331:

What it means? Regular expression
For numerical mandatory fields of the exact length l: [\d]{l}
For numerical mandatory fields up to the length l: [\d]{1,l}
For numerical fields with n pre-decimal places and m [0-9]{n}[\.][0-9]{m}
decimal places
For numerical fields with maximum of one digit after the [0-9]{1,4}([\,][0-9]{0,1}){0,1}
comma
For alphanumeric mandatory fields of the exact length l: [\w]{l}
For alphanumeric mandatory fields up to the length l [\w]{1,l}
For a fixed length field of length n with numeric (?!000000000)[0-9]{9}
characters and leading zeros (Classical TAF
representation of numeric IDs, like kTypeNo) Example with length = 9
For a single-digit field with the permitted values “a”, “b” [abc]
or “c”

Page 118 of 179 © TecAlliance GmbH

 TecDoc Data Format - Data Format Version 2.6
2.0.14, Document property “Status”, 13/12/2021

For a date field in the yyyymm format (19|20)[0-9]{2} (0[1-9]|1[012])

For fields of length l that are only permitted to contain [a-zA-Z]{l}
uppercase and lowercase letters between a/A and z/Z

In case of multiple entries for one CritNo, the ones including a GenArtNo have always a higher priority then the
one without a GenArtNo.
The semantics in this case is that in general the Criteria CritNo requires a format <RegEx1> but if CritNo is used
for an article allocated to Generic Article GenArtNo it requires a format <RegEx2>

The column Sort allow the sorting of the reference numbers (RefNo) below the Article-

there’s not given a specified sequence by the user.

The „Additive-Function“ allows to reference product-groups like repairing-sets (sealing

The ReferenzInfo allows to further define an article reference, e.g. if an article differs in

All country codes for one Article/Parts List combination must either be set as inclusion
or as exclusion. The mixing of these specifications is not allowed.

A further use of this table is to create pseudo articles, which are then linked to vehicles
(or to other linkage targets). The components of a pseudo article should generally not
be linked as single components, but may only be shown in context with the other
components of the pseudo article. Two examples:

• A manufacturer offers motor oil in different package sizes and would like to
present them clearly. He therefore defines a pseudo article “Oil XY 10W40” and
add it as parts list components in table 205 the single package sizes which can be
ordered. By linking the pseudo article to a vehicle, the package sizes do not have
to be linked separately. If the manufacturer adds a further package size, it is
already added automatically to all vehicles of the pseudo article. In this case, it
could be that the 22 characters of the article number are not sufficient to describe
the pseudo article. In this case the additional article description of the pseudo
article should be used accordingly but the brand name should not be contained in
the additional article description.

• A manufacturer of exhaust systems offers different exhaust pipes and fitting

brackets for a vehicle, which may not be interchanged. The semantic is then “if the
exhaust pipe 456.7 is used, only fitting bracket 123.4 fits“. This case also requires
that a pseudo article is defined the parts list of which lists the exhaust pipes and
fitting brackets which can be used. The pseudo article is linked to a vehicle, the
exhaust pipes and fitting brackets are not llinked. This ensures that only
compatible parts are shown with the vehicle. In this case, there is the possibility to
add vehicle-specific attributes for a parts list component in table 208 (in the
example for the exhaust pipe or for the fitting bracket). This may be necessary as
the single part itself is not linked in table 400 (but only via its pseudo article).

Notes : Each DocNo/DocType – combination must contain a data record with the language number 255
(Universal); this will be displayed for languages that are not covered by the delivered languages.
The documents have to correspond to a document type in data table 014. Currently allowed are BMP,
PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF and URL.
The image name has to be stated with the document types BMP, PDF, PNG, GIF and JPG; the URL has
to be stated with the document type URL.

Rules for picture files of JPG, PNG and BMP type (starting November 2021)

The maximum permitted size for pictures is 2500 x 2500 Pixel.

The size of the image files must not exceed 200 kB
Watermarks are not recommended as not well accepted by data users

Extended rules for the document type "URL"

We offer the possibility to make documents (!) available to the market not only as files via the distribution
platform but alternatively as a link (URL) to such documents.
For this purpose, we have integrated a new document type "URL" into the format and equipped the DMM R2 /
PMD R2 accordingly.
The entire TecAlliance catalog data exchange format is designed to exchange documents that can be displayed
in catalogs. Information on image type and standardized caption can be used to transmit documents for
different applications (image, installation instructions, safety data sheet, etc.).
The same applies to documents of the document type URL: Documents must be linked that correspond to one
of the use cases defined by the exchange format.
The following rules apply to this document type:
- The link must contain a valid URI according to RFC 39865
- Allowed network protocols are http and https
- The link must point to a document with one of the following file types:
BMP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, PDF, M4A, MP4, MPG, MPEG, AVI
- Also allowed are references to Youtube videos. The links must begin with the following string:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/
or
https://www.youtube-nocoookie.com/embed/
Please note that Youtube links are not available in some regions of the world.
- Further URL prefixes (analogous to youtube) can be requested from the TecAlliance for use, provided
that they obey the above rules and are used exclusively (!) for the reproduction of media content.

Enhanced rules for document type "GIF" (from June 2018)

The document type "GIF" is to be used to transport simple animations, for example to display simple panoramic
views of a spare part in a catalog.
For the first time, there is a file size limit for this document type. (*)

Extended rules for the document type "ZIP" (360° product images) (not yet avaliable)

This section has been removed from the documentation, as this information is exchanged via a separate
channel.
The TecDoc data maintenance software DMM/PMD is not used. The documents are not part of the regular data
packages.
You will receive information on this - after completion of the pilot project - as part of the regular Data
Distribution Mailings.

Annotation on the use of Watermarks

The use of watermarks on images and drawings is not appreciated by the operators of stores and catalogues.
The use of watermarks could therefore lead to these product describing components not being displayed.
We therefore recommend only to provide images, drawings and other documents without watermarks.

(*) Rules for measuring a transport package

To measure a product package you need to put the product on its natural base and then identify the default
front of the item.:

- For packaging/transport units:

Put the item on its “natural base” what is the natural underside of the packaged item pre-shipping. If any
markings on the package point to natural base orientation, they take precedence in determining the
Natural Base. “Markings” can be text, arrows or other graphics printed on the item that may indicate a
top or bottom orientation. After you have put the item to its natural base the measurements are given as

 TecDoc Data Format - Data Format Version 2.6
2.0.14, Document property “Status”, 13/12/2021

follows:
Height: from the base to the top
Width: the shorter side of the natural base
Depth: the longer side of the natural base

If it is not possible to identify a “Natural Base” the following measurement rules are given:
Height: the shortest dimension
Width: the next longest dimension
Depth: the longest dimension

For completeness the basic measurement rule for end user units is given here as well (needs to be considered
for logistics article measurement attributes in used in table 213):

- For end user units:

The surface with markings such as the product name and standard text elements such as Consumer
Declaration. This is the surface that is presented to the customer e.g. in a shelf in the store. After you
identified the front, the measurements are given as follows:
Height: from the base to the top
Width: from the left to the right
Depth: from the front to the back

Rules and constraints

PackArtNo If only a GTIN exists and no (internal) article number, the GTIN is
as well given in the field “PackArtNo”

PackHeight A numeric value specifying the dimension in [mm]. No decimal

PackWidth places
PackDepth
Regular Expression: [\d]{1,4}

PackWeigth A numeric value specifying the weight in [g]. No decimal places

(*)If this field is missing, the data record just contains one entry per packaging item for the standard lot size for
the packaging item – if any exists. It is a mid term objective to make this information partly non-public what
means that supplier can provide information for specific recipients, e.g. special delivery options for single
wholesalers. Any projects with Data Supplier will be announced to the Data Users affected in due time.

Annotation:

A standard lotsize can either be defined based on the end user unit what then refers to entry in article table 200.
It can as well be given based on an existing packaging unit as soon as the specific lot size is provided via
several items of a package item. In this case ItemNo refers to a table 214 entry.

Article Number must be contained in the data table (-> 211).

There is one data record per linkage in this data table.

In the key table 271 for the linkage target types, the current criteria number which
expressed a linkage since the format version 2.2 remained: (2 = PC-Ktype-No, 7 =
ManID-No, 14 = EngineNo, 16 = CV-Type-No, 19 = Axle-Type-No). Therefore, no
conversion of the values has to take place when making a format conversion.

Linkages of the same article with the same vehicle and the same generic article must
differ in any relevant point.

Valid differences are:

• Article description (-> 200)

• Additional article description (-> 200)

• Article criteria set to immediate display (-> 210)

• Article information set to immediate display (-> 206)

• Linkage criteria set to immediate display (-> 400)

• Linkage information set to immediate display (-> 401)

If an article with the same generic article is linked more than once to the same linkage target, the LfdNr will
determine the display sequence of these linkages.

Comments: If the sorting is not specified for all articles linked to a linkage target, the articles without
explicit sorting order will be shown in ascending order of their article numbers after
those articles, which have an explicit sorting order.
If the data supplier does not specifiy a sorting, all articles for the linkage target are
sorted by their article number (and then after their SeqNo in the data table 400).
If an article with the same generic article is linked several times to the same linkage
target, the display of these linkages will be set by the SeqNo in the data table 400.
The data checks by TecDoc will not check the completeness of the sorting.

ANNEX 2: TecDoc® data guide (tables 900 and 990)

The TecDoc® data guide is set up in order to provide information for the correct and consistent use of TecDoc
Reference Data for the description of products and linkages.
It helps the Data Supplier and every Data User to understand Generic Articles and their differentiation from other
Generic Articles as well as the usage of specific criteria together with Generic Articles.
Definition and usage of criteria is another option that is part of this TecDoc® data guide.
In the first version, the following content can be expected:

1) Definition and usage of Generic Articles

2) Definition and usage of Criteria
3) More detailed information on limitations of Criteria usage on Generic Articles
4) More detailed information on limitations of Key Values usage on specific Criteria
5) More detailed information on limitations of Key Value/Criteria usage on specific Generic Articles

This list might be extended by further content of the DQM Data Guide in the future.
The language provided will be English in the first version. Further languages might follow in the future.

The two tables are only provided as CSV files according to structure as defined in chapter “TAF vs CSV” at the
beginning of this documentation. The table structure therefore contains no “Pos” column.
