Creating record definitions

If you are reading data from a file that contains multiple record types, you must create a separate record definition for each type.

  1. Click the Records tab on the Stage page.
  2. Clear the Single record check box.
  3. Right-click the default record definition RECORD_1 and select Rename Current Record.
  4. Type a new name for the default record definition.
  5. Add another record by clicking one of the buttons at the bottom of the records list. Each button offers a different insertion point.
    A new record is created with the default name of NEWRECORD.
  6. Double-click NEWRECORD to rename it.
  7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each new record that you need to create.
  8. Right-click the master record in the list and select Toggle Master Record.
    Only one master record is permitted.
