Settings Properties
In the Properties view, under Settings, you can specify whether undefined data is allowed, assign names to particular sections of the flat file schema, and designate a floating record.
Property
Description
Allow undefined data
Specifies whether record definitions and record references in the flat file schema can be configured to allow undefined data. When records allow undefined data, Integration Server does not generate errors when flat files contain undefined data at run time.
Select...
To...
True
Allow specific records in the flat file schema to be configured to allow undefined data at run time.
False
Prohibit undefined data at any location in the flat file schema
If the validate variable of the pub.flatFile.convertToValue service is set to true, the pub.flatFile.convertToValue service will generate errors when undefined data is encountered.
Areas
Click to create a list of names that can be assigned to records or record references in the flat file schema.
Note:
Areas are used primarily for EDI document parsing.
Floating record
Identifies the record in the flat file schema that will act as the floating record. By designating a floating record, you enable that record to appear in any position within a flat file without causing a parsing validation error.
You can specify the record name or the alternate name that is assigned to the record.
If you do not use this property, validation errors will occur if the record structure of an inbound document does not match the record structure defined in its flat file schema. For information on avoiding this type of error, see the Flat File Schema Developer’s Guide.
