The file is an odd format which I haven't seen before. The patient balance is supposed to be in column 810 for a length of 9 (7 and 2 after decimal)

In that field are weird characters like '}' 'J' and other characters. Is this some packed format? I don't get it.

All the other data so far has been either Z for numeric (which I think is left zero filled) and C for character.
