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.
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 line on which the condition is met.
