Note that if a given value is used for multiple channels, the result may be different at design
time, or when a PlanetPress Design document is previewed or printed.
Also note that Split on FormFeed (FF) is not supported with the Channel Skip emulation in
Optimized PostScript Stream mode or when printing using a Windows driver.
Note
Channel skip emulation is only used when merging line printer data with a PlanetPress
Design document.
CSV emulation options
l
Text delimiter: Enter the character that starts and ends the data in each field of the
record. If you do not set a text delimiter and the data in a field contains the character you
set as the delimiter, the data is split into two fields. If you want to use a backslash
character (\) as a delimiter, you must precede it with another backslash character (thus
you would enter \\). You can also specify an ASCII character using its octal value
preceded by a backslash (for example, \041 is the exclamation mark character [!]).
l
Force one record per page: Select to force a single record per data page. If you clear
the selection, a record may be split across data pages if necessary. If you want to avoid
splitting a record across data pages, yet have several records in the buffer, select Force
one record per page, and set the Pages in buffer option to the number of records you want
the buffer to hold.
l
Delimiter: Enter the character that separates the fields of each record in the input data. If
you want to use a tab as a delimiter, select Set tab as field delimiter. If you want to use a
backslash character (\) as a delimiter, you must precede it with another backslash
character (thus you would enter \\). You can also specify an ASCII character using its
octal value preceded by a backslash (for example, \041 is the exclamation mark character
[!]).
l
Set tab as field delimiter: Select to define a tab as the character that separates the fields
of each record in the input data. Clear to use the Delimiter box to define that character.
CSV emulation
CSV emulation tells the process to read the input data one line at a time and to treat each line
as a database record. It also specifies the field delimiter used to distinguish the different fields
