l
Add CRLF after last line: Select if you want to add a CRLF (carriage return/line feed)
character after the last line of text added to the job file. This option is only available when
you choose to add lines of text to the job file.
l
ASCII file: Enter the path and name of the text file to be added to the job file, or use the
Browse button to navigate to this file. This box is only displayed when the Text file option
is selected in the Content box.
l
Characters: Enter the string of characters to be added to the job file. This box is only
displayed when the Characters option is selected in the Content box.
l
Lines: Enter the lines of text to be added to the job file. This box is only displayed when
the Lines option is selected in the Content box.
l
Remove: Enter the number of characters or lines to be removed from the job file. This box
is only displayed when Remove is selected in the Action group and when the Characters
or Lines option is selected in the Content box.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page731.
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:In the initial input tasks, this group is disabled and defaults to Stop Process. In
all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Default:By default, the task is ignored as if it did not exist and the error is logged
before continuing the branch or process; the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process. When an error occurs in a loop (or in a plugin that acts like a loop), the
loop may log the error, terminate the current iteration and proceed with the next
iteration.
