Help sorta off topic

I'm trying to write a sequential file with EU which I can sync to windows mobile. I have one example which works great. I wrote 5 years ago and can't remember enough to get it to work with a different record length.
Here is the old statement which creates the file which works:
printMask = "%012d%-30s%-30s%9.4f%9.4f" -- 90 chars recString = {8,0,90,0} & sprintf(printMask, {icmaRec[icmaUPCNbr], icmaRec[icmaItemDesc1], icmaRec[icmaItemDesc2], icmaRec[icmaPrice1], icmaRec[icmaStdCost]}) puts(fileNbr, recString)
I read the file in windows moble as using :
file.Open "\My Documents\icMaster.txt",4,1,3,94 'input, direct, locked, reclen
file.Get fileRec, loc 'loc is the record number
My questin is does anyone know what the leading stuff is that I put in front of the record ({8,0,90,0}). The 90 is the number of characters but I don't know what the other items are. I can't find any MS documentation which explains the file structure I need to create.
