tailor exactly how you want the region based splitting process to take place.
l
On region content change: Select if you want the data file to be split when the
word found at a given location changes.
l
Get button: Click to go to the Data Selector and select the location associated with
the On region change option.
l
Specific word: Enter the word to use as the splitting criteria. In this variable property
box, you may enter static characters, variables, job information elements or any
combination of these. You may also use the Get Data button to get a static string of
characters from the sample data file. If you use this option, the coordinates of the
data you will select will be added to the Left, Right, Top and Bottom boxes below.
l
Left: Enter a value corresponding to the left coordinate on which the splitter must
start searching for the region.
l
Right: Enter a value corresponding to the right coordinate on which the splitter must
start searching for the region.
l
Top: Enter a value corresponding to the top coordinate on which the splitter must
start searching for the region.
l
Bottom: Enter a value corresponding to the bottom coordinate on which the splitter
must start searching for the region.
l
Match case: Select to force the splitter to match the character casing. Note that this
setting applies both to the On region change and Specific word options. If this option
is selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be considered as matching the search string
“day”.
l
Trim selection: Select to force the splitter to strip empty trailing characters. When
this option is not selected, blank trailing characters, if any, are considered in the
matching process, so the word “DAY” will not be considered as matching the word
“DAY”. Note that this setting applies only to the On region change option.
l
Where to split: By default, the task splits the file at the beginning of the line on
which the condition is met (the default value is 0). If you want the task to split the file
a certain number of lines before or after that line, enter a value other than 0 in this
box. Enter 1, for example, to split the file at the beginning of the line that precedes
the line on which the condition is met.
l
Before: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this
option if you want to split the file a given number of lines before the line on which
the condition is met.
