l
Page(s) per output: Select if you want the file generated by the splitter to include
multiple data pages. Enter the number of pages in the edit box below or use the spin
buttons.
l
Split data file on a word group: Select to split the data file based on a word found within
the data stream (rather than on based on pages) and to activate the options from this
group, which are used to tailor exactly how you want the word based splitting process to
take place.
l
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 From column and To column boxes below.
l
From column: Enter a value corresponding to the first column in which the splitter
must start searching for the word.
l
To column: Enter a value corresponding to the last column in which the splitter
must start searching for the word.
l
Match case: Select to force the splitter to match the character casing of the string of
characters entered above with the characters found in the file. If this option is
selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be considered as matching the search string
“day”.
l
Where to split: By default, the task splits the file at the beginning of the line on
which the search word is found (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 search word is found.
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 search word.
l
After: 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 after the search word.
l
When word is found: By default, the task splits the file every time the search word
is found (the default value is 1). If you want the task to split the file only when the
search word has been found twice, for example, enter the number 2 in this box.
