   Trailing comma

   Hello Andrew,   
      
   When line ends with just the baud rate field as fo rexample in 2:280/127,   
   MakeNL addes a trailing comma when it is not there:   
      
   Pvt,127,Trapgate_Test,Brunssum,Frans_Lupschen,-Unpublished-,300,   
      
   It does not add a trailing comma, when the baud rate is not the last field.   
      
   FTS-5000 allows the trailing comma, but does not require it.   
      
    FTS>  Any remaining fields from position eight (8) onward are flag   
    FTS>  fields.  Note there may or may not be a trailing comma after   
    FTS>  Field 7 if there are no flags listed.   
      
   I think MAkeNl should not forcefully add a trailing comma. It should also not   
   remove it when it is present in the submitted segment. It should just pass it   
   "as is" in the case that field seven is the last field.   
      
   In Zone 2 we have the odd situation that the R28 segment that I edit does not   
   have the trailing comma. When I run it trough MakeNl, it adds the comma. I   
   submit it to the ZC, who runs it through a filter (ERRFLAGS) that removes the   
   trailing comma. It reports it as an error. And then the ZC's MakeNl puts the   
   comma back in....   
      
   We could make it an option, but just not touching the trailing comma would be   
   fine with me.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
