You have to start at the offset to the header section(s), read it's length (always 2 bytes) and the header type, (first is the always-present standard header), then test that there is more data present (headers are at the END of the physical record) and if so, read the next header's length and type, decode it, etc, until you've exhausted the record length.
Or, you can use MXG Software to do this for you. Herbert W.
