l Trim Option:Can either be "Trim"if you want to trim empty spaces before and after the
data selection or "NoTrim"if you want to retain the extra spaces.
Metadata Selections
These selections are used with any type of file, as long as a metadata file was created by a
previous task.
Syntax
GetMeta(Field Name [, Option Flags, Metadata Path])
Here is a breakdown of the syntax:
l GetMeta():Always surrounds metadata selections.
l Field/Attribute Name:specifies the name of the field (or attribute, if the GetAttribute
option flag is set) to retrieve.
l Option Flag (optional):Sets the options for the selection (see table below)
l Metadata Path (optional):Defines the precise path where the Metadata Field is located.
Option Flags
Name Value Behavior
GetAttribute 1 Search for the name argument in the attribute collection
instead of the default field collection.

(defaults to Page level when path argument is empty),
instead of default behavior, going from the Page level to
the Job level.
FailIfNotFound 4 Raise an error and crash the job is the specified name is
not found instead of returning an empty string.
