Formats for Data Editin
6.4.4 FIELD SETTINGS
Data eligible for editing formats is divided into fields by user-specified rules – either
using the field terminating string or specified field length.
By Terminating String
Specify the field terminating string. Up to two characters are allowed. The scanner will search for
the occurrence of this particular string in the data.
By default, this string will be included in the field. You may discard it.
By Length
Alternatively, you may simply specify the field length. The scanner will assign the next specified
number of characters into the field.
