Key Field Tab, Input Side of Map
The following list describes the properties of the Key Field tab on the Input side of the map; the properties on this tab apply to EDI Segments, Positional Records, Variable Length Delimited Data Records, XML File properties, SWIFT Records, CHIPS Field Properties, FEDWIRE Field Properties, and XML Elements.
For SWIFTNet, key field matching in the translator is used to match by Qualifier for generic fields, and by the data content of 16R/16S ISO 15022 block tags.
| Property | Description |

| Field | Elements
in the segment (or, for XML, contains all the attributes
that are defined for this element). Select an element from the Field
list that will or will not match the constant chosen from the Matching
Rules section. This list helps you recognize an ambiguous segment
definition. If the specified condition is not met, the segment does
not conform to the definition, but processing still continues. Note: Key fields are intended to be used with string fields
only. If you use a key field on a numeric field, the result is not
guaranteed.

| Use constant/ Edit |
List of defined constants. The Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor matches the selected constant against the key field.For XML, indicates that the translator must match the element if the contents of the selected attribute match the literal constant selected from the list. If you must add or change a constant, click Edit to access the Map Constants dialog box. |
| Use codelist/ Edit |
List of defined code lists. The Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor matches the selected code list against the key field. For XML, indicates that the translator must match the element if the contents of the selected attribute match the selected code list. If you must add or change a code list, click Edit to access the Code Lists dialog box. |
| Match record when key does not match | Use if you have specified a
key field and a matching rule.
Select this check box to specify when the segment will be matched,
if the Field does not contain the value specified in the Matching
rules section. If the specified condition is not met, the segment
does not conform to the definition, and processing continues. Not used for SWIFT. The Matching Rules section is active only if you selected a map component from the Key Field list. |
