3.1.2 How to Process an Integer

As explained in Section 2.2.3, an integer parameter is declared by the Integer element. Below is an example that reads six integers from two different lines (records).

Note that the order in the FileData section is completely independent of the order in the FileStructure section; just be sure that every element to be read in the FileStructure section is defined in the FileData section.
