New Functionality within Conditional Text and Overlay option 11 added V6.99 (08/23/22) to dynamically append constant text to the end of a mapped field.
Trigger a condition to insert constant text at the end of a Mapped Field with the options to insert the configured text at the end of the Mapped Field or at the end of the last character of the Mapped Field.
Option 11 Fields and Parameters to Append Text to a Mapped Field:
In the example below…
- The condition is triggered true when the value of BILL appears on the spool file Row 13 between Column 2 and 5.
- The configured text –What a wonderful place. in the Static Text Information field will be used as the text to be appended.
- The Mapped Field BLOCK001 in the Appending text to Map Field will be the Mapped Field used to append the text.
- The Remove trailing space (Y/N) parameter will toggle the option to:
- Y = Trim the blank spaces within the Mapped Field to append the text immediately after the last character as shown in Example 1 below.
- N = Does not trim the blank spaces within the Mapped Field. The text will be appended at the end of the Mapped Field spacing as shown in Example 2 below.
