Displaying "not-selected" records
A record is considered to be selected if all of the following conditions are true:
- The record length matches the length of one of the record types (level-01 items) in the template. If any of the data description entries for the fields in a record type included an OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause, then records of various lengths might match a record type; for details, see Support for variable-length arrays.
- The record data matches the record identification criteria for
a type with that record length.
If a record matches the record identification criteria for a record type, but the record length is outside the valid range for that record type, then the record matches the record type only if you choose the Length error option on the Editor Options (option 0.6) panel. If you choose this option then such records appear with a
=LGTH
indicator in their prefix area. If you do not choose this option, then the record does not match the record type. - The record data matches the record selection criteria for that type.
- The record type is indicated as being selected on the Record Selection panel (when editing the template).
Otherwise, a record is considered to be not-selected for processing.
