Notes on outputting specifications
-
Output specifications cannot be imported into DataMagic.
-
An invalid specifications output might be made due to the maximum length of Excel sheet name when the data processing ID exceeds the length of 31 characters.
-
The number of characters that can be output to the specifications is up to 32767 characters, due to the character limit per cell in Excel. Characters that exceed the maximum number are not output to the specifications.
-
Data output to the specifications is internally converted to XML format. In that process, some characters are converted to escape sequences. As a result, the output might be fewer characters than the expected number.
The table below shows the characters that are converted to escape sequences.
