An explanation of the application of these flags to the codas database is give here.

An example follows in which editing flags were created and stored in badbin.asc, badprof.asc, and bottom.asc. They were then applied to the database and an ascii dump was made of the database. You can look at the files to see the effects of each subsequent editing step.
