Template for segmented data

If selected (by typing a "/"), the template can be used to access data sets containing segmented data. The template must contain Record Identification Criteria for each Record Type. Each segment in the data set is treated as a logical record within the function, using the Record Type definition.

Default setting is unselected.

CCSID

The CCSID to be associated with all alphanumeric fields in the template unless the field is in a record which has a CCSID associated with it. If this field is changed those alphanumeric fields in records which do not have an associated CCSID and have the same CCSID will have the CCSID associated with it changed.

Cmd

Prefix command area - used to enter a template editor prefix command. You can type prefix commands in multiple Cmd fields and then execute all the commands in one action, by pressing Enter. Line commands available on this panel are:

S

Toggles the selection of a segment layout for processing.

When a segment type is deselected, its field selection criteria are still used to determine whether all segments in the physical record are extracted.

E

Display the Field Selection/Edit panel, so that you can edit field selection and expression criteria.

SIE

Select/Identification/Expression column.

S

Indicates that the record type has been selected for processing.

I

Indicates that a record identification expression has been defined for the record type.

E

Indicates that a record selection expression has been defined for the record type.

Field name

Shows the field name of the record type (level-01 name).

Prompt

Indicates when the record type has been edited within the current session.

Offset

Displays the current offset for each record type. You can overtype the value in this column to change the offset for each record type, or you can enter the OFFSET primary command to change the offset value for one or more record types.

Length

Shows the length of the record. If the record is variable length, this field shows the maximum record length.
