Chapter 3 Lookup
3.8.2 TRUNCATE / REFORMAT THE RECORD
When “Truncate/Reformat the Record” is selected, if a lookup file of wrong format is
sent in, the application template first displays a message on the mobile computer to
notify the mismatching part fixed, automatically truncated, or reformatted during
downloading.
For example, the additional fields of a record will be left out. However, you may need to
reload the lookup file after the data format has been corrected.
The following table lists the actions taken by the application template when the incoming
lookup file’s format is wrong:
