This is what i picked up from another list which has proven to be VERY helpful. I had a bit of an idea and this just completed it.
I have another one worded a little differently if it helps.
Creating a Distant Steering Code (DSC)
There are 3 components to consider:
DSC Distant Steering Code
RLB Route List Block
DMI Digit Manipulation Index
When a call is made on a DSC, the properties of the DSC tell the switch that
it should check the RLB to see which route the call should be carried on.
Whilst examining the RLB, a check is also performed to see if any of the
dialled
digits should be adjusted (or manipulated) before routing the call.
This is carried out through the DMI - an instruction set that tells the
switch
where to send the call to on the route specified by the RLB.
The RLB and DMI are numerically identified, and for the purposes of
simplicity,
are often referred to by the same number.

RLI 33 (Route List Index)
CREATING A NEW DSC
In order to create a new DSC, the DMI and RLB must be set-up first.
In addition, the existing DSCs/RLBs/DMIs should be printed to determine the
next
available numeric index. The order of programming should be:
(1) Check Existing Local/Distant Steering Codes (L/DSC)
(2) Check Existing Route List Blocks (RLB)
(3) Check Existing Digit Manipulation Indexes (DMI)
(4) Create New DMI
(5) Create New RLB
(6) Create New DSC
(7) Test the new DSC
Instructions for carrying out sections (1),(2) and (3) are outlined above.

All other prompts should be <RET> until the new DMI is asked for:
DMI <<THE NUMBER OF THE DMI JUST CREATED>>
NOTE: If the DMI has not already been set-up, the RLI cannot be created.
Also, for simplicity the DMI and RLI are traditionally given the
same numeric index.

(7) Test the New DSC
Use a phoneset dial the new DSC created.
When it has been answered (either by agent/IVR/music etc.) press the Hold
Key
and then the DN key.
This will display the route access codes and member the call has travelled
on -
this should be the same as the route specified in (5) Create New RLB.
