Alternatively, right-click the Steps pane and select Add a Step > Add Extraction. Make
the required settings on the Step properties pane.
If an Extract step is added within a Repeat step, the extracted data are added to a detail table
by default; see "Extracting transactional data" on page235 and "Detail tables" on page306.
Configuring an Extract step
The names, order, data type and default value of the fields extracted in an Extract step are
properties of that Extract step. These and other properties can be edited via the Step properties
pane. For an explanation of all the options, see "Extract step properties" on page337.
Data cannot be extracted more than once in any record, unless the Extract steps are mutually
exclusive. This is the case when they are located in different branches of a Condition step or
Multiple Conditions step.
Inside a Detail table, multiple Extract steps may extract the same data but each of them will
create a new child record in the Detail table.
If you tick the Append values to current record option when several steps are extracting the
same field, the step will error out.
Repeat step
The Repeat step is a loop that may run 0 or more times, depending on the condition specified.
It is generally used for the extraction of transactional data; see "Extracting transactional data"
on page235.
Repeat steps do not automatically move the pointer in the source file. Therefore, when adding
a Repeat step, a Goto step that moves the cursor is inserted automatically inside the loop to
avoid an infinite loop, except with XML data. When you select a node in an XML file and add a
Repeat step on it, the Repeat step will automatically loop over all nodes of the same type on
the same level in the XML file.
