View Information page

The View Information page is where you specify information needed by Content Manager OnDemand client programs to display the income statements.

Some of the information is also used for the indexing parameters.

Even though the income statement report will be stored in the system as AFP data, the Data Type should be set to Line at this time to define the triggers, fields, and indexes. After defining the indexing information, the Data Type will be reset to AFP, which is the format of the data as it is stored in the system. Other important settings on this page include:
Code Page
Set the code page to 500. This is the code page of the data as it is viewed by the graphical indexer.
RECFM
Records in the input data are fixed length, 133 characters in length.
CC
The input data contains carriage control characters in column one of the data.
CC Type
The input data contains ANSI carriage control characters coded in EBCDIC.
