If the creators had any foresight, there wouldn't have been a phone number
field either. Fixed position fields are stupid for data that doesn't need
to be present, and guessing the content of such a field with multiple
purposes is a PITA. Time to fix your software (FD is still being
maintained, isn't it?) and use the only sensible method the nodelist
allows: /named/ fields, AKA flags.
BTW,
IBN: 1391
IFC: 310
ITN: 304
Your kludged up DOS mailer is a dying breed :) And I dare say most of the
IFC/ITN systems are Argus or similar 3-in-one packages.
