Field Descriptions
COBOL Embedded Characters
Empty space in character data items can be filled with BLANK or NULL values. If BLANK is specified, single byte spaces are embedded for PICTURE X type items and double byte spaces for PICTURE N type items.
The default setting is BLANK.
Access Mode
Set up the method to access the data file.
COBOL IO Specify this to access a COBOL file. (COBOL must be installed.)
BINARY Specify this to access a sequential and fixed length file other than a COBOL file. (COBOL does not need to be installed.)
COBOL File Size
The size of the data file is specified. Either "Standard" or "Large" is specified. This setting is used only for sequential and line sequential files.
Standard A data file up to 1GB can be manipulated.
Large A data file exceeding 1GB can be manipulated.
Default Edit Mode
When a previously edited file is loaded, you can specify the default edit mode for the Select Data File dialog box. The options are Update, View and Add. The default setting is Update.
When the Select All Data box is checked and you select a field to edit, any characters that you enter will overwrite all data in the field. If the Select All Data box is unchecked, characters will be inserted into the data instead of overwriting it.
Warning message on Add/Copy for Indexed/Relative Files
When you add or copy records on the Record Format View, specify whether to display the message box. If an error occurs and the message box display is suppressed, the changes cannot be undone. The default setting is to suppress the display.
Specify editor for previewing the error file
The content of format analysis errors can be viewed in a specified editor. The default is "NOTEPAD.EXE".
