Processing
All HPPCLcharacters are removed from the data file. Note that these characters are not interpreted, only
stripped out.
Output
The modified data file, with stripped characters, is output from this task. Metadata, job infos and variables
are not modified.
Properties
General tab
l Process job using ASCII emulation: Select to use the ASCII emulation to process the job file. This
reverses LF-CR end-of-line sequences that may result in unwanted double-spacing.
l Remove and convert HP escape characters: Select to filter HP escape character sequences from the
job file.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on " Task Properties Dialog" on page 587.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any
process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all
other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process.
l Stop Branch:If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the job file is
returned to the process after the branch. The branch will not produce any output.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further output is
produced.
