This file describes the format for the EPS export file V2.5 - eps.csv The file is a CSV (comma separated variable) file. All values (even empty ones) must be enclosed in quotes(""). Each line (record) of the file must be properly terminated with a CRLF (carriage return and line feed, ASCII characters 13 and 10 in decimal, 0D and 0A in hex). Each line (record) is made up of 61 variables (fields) in the prescribed order. Version 2.5 introduced an additional variable (field 51 - 3.33). For compatibility with previous versions a line (record) made up of 60 variables (fields) will also be accepted. In this case field 51 - 3.33 will be assumed to be not present but field 51 will contain 4.01 data. A complete list of variable is shown below. The first number is the position of the variable followed by a comma then a tab, the next number is the dataset number, then a hyphen, followed by the field description, followed by a full stop then the datatype. Details about the legal values for the fields can be found in the dataset, www.ccad.org.uk 1, 1.01 - Hospital identifier. Text (single value) 2, 1.02 - Patient Case Record Number.
