Summary

This package implements fxrd-mode, a major mode for editing files with fixed field widths. These files are commonly used in the financial industry, such as in ACH transactions. This package provides:

• nacha-mode: a mode for editing NACHA (ACH transaction) files
• rm37-mode: a mode for editing RM37 (Mastercard rebate transaction) files
• tso6-mode: a mode for editing TSO6 (Mastercard rebate confirmation) files
• cbnot-mode: a mode for editing CBNOT (Amex chargeback notification) files

In each mode, the current field is highlighted with fxrd-current-field-face, and the field's name is shown in the modeline. All fields with errors are highlighted with fxrd-invalid-field-face, and if the current field has an error, the error is also displayed in the modeline.

Usage

In each of these modes, the following commands are available:

• M-<right> (fxrd-next-field) and M-<left> (fxrd-previous-field) move to the next and previous fields, respectively.
• C-. (fxrd-next-error) moves to the next invalid field.
