A card has a 111-character data strip on the back of the card. We can not find an example, or figure out how to properly capture that data in our RPG program. We can write a display file with a 111-char field (CNTFLD 37) and successfully capture the data but none of us have ever seen magnetic stripe data displayed on a POS terminal. Do others read magnetic stripes? Is so, how?
