Once split, the first file generated by the action task would look like this:
Data line1 of page 1<cr><lf>
Data line2 of page 1<cr>
Data line2 of page 1<cr><lf>
Last data line of page 1<cr>
But when opened with PlanetPress Design or a PReS Workflow using the ASCII emulation, the
data in the generated file would look exactly like the data in the original. The same would hold
true for the Channel Skip emulation.
Note the following details about emulations and their options:
l With most emulations, if a file is split on a form feed, the form feed will not be appended to
the output file.
l With the ASCII emulation, tabs within the input data file are replaced by spaces (the
number of spaces is determined within the configuration of the emulation).
l
With the ASCII emulation, if the Remove HP PCL Escapes option is selected, the data
coming out of the splitter will have no escape sequences.
l
The Goto column option of Channel Skip emulation is not supported.
Database Splitter
The Database Splitter is used to split database files into multiple data files that are passed to
subsequent tasks in the process.
Input
Database data (see "Database emulation" on page66).
Processing
The file is separated into multiple chunks according to the rules set in the task's properties.
Output
Multiple data files, sent one after the other to the rest of the tasks in the process. Metadata, job
infos and user variables are not modified by this task.
