It is possible to have a number of groups bound by the same Account Number (an Account Group).This
means that one CL signal is not sent until all the groups within the Account Group are set. Individual groups
within the Account Group will not send a CL signal. The groups within the Account Group are identified by
a starred (7) Account Number, for example, 
7 2112.
When the Account Group is fully set, the identifier of the CL message is 999 to identify...
