LINEOFFSET
Determines if ANSI carriage-control characters are used to calculate the record offsets when determining the location of the fields. Only the 0 (space two lines) and the dash (space three lines) are supported. The + (overstrike) character is not supported.
ACIF interprets the ANSI carriage control and then rewrites the input data as if it were printed using the "0" or "-" carriage controls. The index values must then relate to the newly formatted input file.
