A typical entry line for a price record would appear as follows:
Example 1: 0~029236068578~97807897068570~0789706857~49.99~67.99~AR~My Title~7000~ACTcr/lf
Example 2: 0~97807897068570~0789706857~~49.99~~~My Title~7000~ACTcr/lf
Note in Example 2 that there are only two item numbers, hence the double tilde after the second item number. Also there is no Canadian price nor distributor, hence the three tildes between the U.S. retail price and the Title.
