Explanation of each field

This section explains the fields to be specified in the Multi Format Information.

Multi Format ID

ID to identify the registered multi format

This multi format ID is associated with Multi Format ID in the Send Management Information.

Comment

Comment for the formats

Default Format ID

Default format ID in case there is no match with the keys of each record in the Send file

If you specify this default format ID, and the keys set for each record in the Send file do not match the key specified for Key Value, the format for Default Format ID is used. If this field is not specified, a conversion error will occur when the key in the file does not match with any key registered.

Key Start Position

Key start position to be set per record

The sum of the values set for Key Start Position and Key Length cannot exceed '19998.'

When you set a value that is greater than the length of a record of the Format Information for Key Start Position, the key value is not correctly applied.

Key Length

Length of the key to be set per record

Key Value

Key to be set in each record

Specify alphanumeric characters of the same length as that of the key length.

Specify one of the following values for Field Type in the area where you set the key value:

X:

Character

M:

Variable-length Characters

Format ID

Format ID used when the keys match

Specify the format ID that is registered in the Format Information. It is necessary to register as many format IDs as the number of key values. HULFT identifies the format ID based on the key value and applies the format to the data.
