text: Three “modes” of running ACIF are available: 
  
  (cid:2) Mode one: Line data input to ACIF creates line data output: 
  
  – Specify the ACIF parameter CONVERT=NO. 
  
  – ACIF does not create a resource file. 
  
  – Files produced: .out and .ind. 
  
  (cid:2) Mode two: Line data input to ACIF creates AFP output: 
  
  – Specify the ACIF parameter CONVERT=YES. 
  
  – ACIF creates an AFP resource file. 
  
  – Files produced: .out, .ind, and .res. 
  
  (cid:2) Mode three: AFP input to ACIF creates AFP output: 
  
  – Specify the ACIF parameter CONVERT=YES. 
  
  – ACIF creates an AFP resource file. 
  
  – Files produced: .out, .ind, and .res. 
  
  A subset of the second mode is mixed mode input (line data records mixed with AFP 
  records). In this case, ACIF creates AFP output: 
  
  (cid:2) Specify the ACIF parameter CONVERT=YES. 
  (cid:2) ACIF creates an AFP resource file. 
  (cid:2) Files produced: .out, .ind, and .res. 
  
  **Types of ACIF parameters**
  Because ACIF has so much functionality, it has many parameters. Four logical sets of ACIF 
  parameters are available: 
  
  (cid:2) ACIF parameters that describe the format of the data:**CC**,**CCTYPE**,**TRC**,**FILEFORMAT**, and 
  **CPGID**
  
  (cid:2) ACIF parameters for line data to AFP conversion:**CONVERT**,**MCF2REF**(we recommend 
  
  coded font (**CF**parameter) instead of code page character set (**CPCS**parameter)),**IMAGEOUT**
  (we recommend**ASIS**parameter instead of Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA)), 
  **FORMDEF**, and**PAGEDEF**
  
  (cid:2) ACIF parameters for indexing:**TRIGGER**,**FIELD**,**INDEX**,**INDEXOBJ**, and**INDEXSTARTBY**
  
  (cid:2) ACIF parameters for collecting resources:**RESTYPE**and EXTENSIONS=RESORDER
