The complements of an article are defined in four data structures:

1.
Array of Descriptives - Array of 3000 descriptives of articles and complements with 16 characters each.
3000x16 bytes
They are the same descriptives that are been used for the articles, in order to make the terminal distinguish the complements pages correctly, before the first complements page we must place a descriptive which contains: "COMPLEMENTOS    " and after the last complements page we must place a descriptive with contains: COMPLEMENTOS FIM" (Complements End)
Each complements page consist s in one or more descriptives in consecutive positions. An empty descriptive indicates the end of a page.

2.
Type of page - Array of 256 itmes of 8 bits
256 bytes
Possible types:
1 - Indicator for pages with exclusive chose options(Ex. Double/Simple)
5 - Indicator for pages with multiple chose options (Example With Cream/Cold Cup)
0 - End of the complements for this article

3.
Indicator for the page - Array of 256 items of 32 bits
256x4 bytes
It contains the index of the firts descriptive of the complements page.

The buffers for these data structures are sent to the terminals by a routine already used to transmit the descriptives of the articles. The positions' map is as it follows:

4.
Index of the list of Indicators/Types of pages for each article - Array of 3040 items of 8 bits
