Figure 31 List of Field Attribute Options for Numeric-based Coding Scheme

Figure 32 Example of a Field Definition File

In the example in Figure 32, the input record length is 294 + 16 + 756 + 40 + 130 = 1,236 bytes

and the output record length is 588 + 16 + 1,512 + 80 + 260 = 2,456 plus 1 byte for the delimiter,

thus 2,457 bytes.

• The first field contains the first 294 bytes of data. Single-byte alphanumeric character conversion

is performed before output. Conversion is performed according to the conversion mode information

for [CHAR:OP45] specified in the Edit Option file. The output field length is 588 bytes.

• The second field is the 16 bytes of data that follow the first field. No code conversion is performed,

and data is output without any change. The output field length is 16 bytes.

• The third field is the 756 bytes of data that follow the second field. Single-byte alphanumeric

character conversion is performed before output. Conversion is performed according to the con-

version mode information for [CHAR:OP45] specified in the Edit Option file. The output field length

is 1512 bytes.

• The fourth field is the 40 bytes of data that follow the third field. Only double-byte code conversion

is performed before output. Conversion is performed according to the conversion mode information

for [KANJI:OP41] specified in the Edit Option file. The output field length is 80 bytes.

• The fifth field is the 130 bytes of data that follow the fourth field. Single-byte alphanumeric char-

acter conversion is performed before output. Conversion is performed according to the conversion

mode information for [CHAR:OP45] specified in the Edit Option file. The output field length is

260 bytes.

Using the Parameter Definition File to Associate Field Definition Files with

Database Data Files

Parameter Definition files are used to associate Field Definition files with the database data file to be

converted. The Parameter Definition file is used by the File Conversion Utility to specify the database
