    Here are wild characters on the setup sheet. Qualifier There are three conditional fields in the Qualifier: Input ID, Length and Match. Input ID Format: IN_ID Input ID is required and the original data record must correspond to Input ID of a formula in order to be processed.

  • Page 36: Match

    Match Format: MATCH A pair of Pn and Cn forms a Match field (n indicates a sequential integer number). To define a Match field, two parameters are required. The first is character position (Pn) and the second is a string (Cn). Character position means the number of characters, counting from the first character to the one to be positioned in the data record.

  • Page 37: O-String

    O-String Format: O-STR O-String always applies to the original data. It contains two parameters. The first is position parameter (P) that specifies the start output position in the original data. Parameter N tells how many characters will be included beginning from P. Example: Original data is: Barcode...
