Hierarchy Format

This is a data format used to handle a file in which records consist of multiple formats and have a hierarchical structure. Hierarchy files consist of multiple hierarchical formats for headers, data, trailers, and other sections that are displayed in a specified order. These formats make it possible to specify the input field to be extracted from multiple records and output it as a single record. Hierarchy files are intended for use with Zengin, CII, and other standard formats.

A superior record and its subordinate records have a parent-child relationship. For example, you can define data that has a file header and a file footer as the superior record, and any number of data parts as its subordinate records.

DataMagic processes the data based on the registered hierarchy format information.
