- Each field is delimited by chr(127). (DEL)
- It complements the listings ended file, and the item_id allows the
identification of the desired item.
- This file may be best used in conjunction with the API calls 'GetAttributesCS' and 'GetCategory2CS' which
can help determine which attributes to expect for items in a certain category.
Here is a description of the columns contained in the attribute extract,
