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
Database Splitter is used to split database files into multiple data files that are passed to
subsequent tasks in the process.
Input
A Database Emulation data file.
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.
Properties
General tab
l
Split group: Use this group to indicate how you want the file to be split.
l
Field value change: Select if you want the file to be split based on changes in the values
of a selected database field (the value in the ClientID field changes, for example).
