While it is not within the scope of this manual to describe the Acquire output file in full, there are some checks that you can make, by simple inspection, to confirm that the file is of the correct structure. In general records are formatted as comma-separated variables with a sequence number as the first field that increments from 10001 upwards for each measurement interval.
This sample shows the first three data records, and the last record in a given segment, of a valid data file from reading MONITOR data. Data from processing Velocity Software files uses the same style and scheme of record format but 5xxx and 6xxx record types are replaced with 7xxx and 8xxx respectively.

This sequence of records repeats from type 5001 (for z/VM data) or 7001 (for Velocity Software data) to type 9999 for each interval present in the input data.
