(2) 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.
(3) Points to be noted when configuring settings
When the key value is not correctly applied
The correct key value may not be applied when you place either of the following fields before the position for Key Start Position. Therefore, the key value will not be applied correctly.
-
P (Signed Internal Decimal)
-
S (Signed External Decimal)
Starting position of the format
When you apply the Format Information that matches the key value, HULFT starts applying the information from the first byte in the record.
