Original length

For output links only, use this property to specify the length of the message segment to which the report message relates. This property is not the length of the entire logical message, nor is it the length of the data in the report message itself. The report message thus becomes another segment in the logical message.

This property is applicable only to report messages that are segments. This length is measured differently than the Offset property.

The value in this property is used to filter all messages in this job at design time.

For output links, you can type the custom value in different ways:
  • A list of comma-delimited or space-delimited integers
  • A range of integers in the following format: a-b
  • A combination of lists and ranges that are comma-delimited or space-delimited

The total length of the combined values in this property must not exceed 256 characters. There is no default value. If this value is blank, this property is not used for filtering messages.

The data element for this property is WSMQ.ORIGINALLENGTH.
