Summary
The Mail.mms map source file contains the original ContactToLabel map.
♦ You copied this ContactToLabel map to create a new map named
ContactToFullLabel.
The ContactToFullLabel map has the same cards as the ContactToLabel map.
♦ You edited the #1 LabelFile output card so the data object represented by
this card is the entire file of labels: the LabelFile group type.
The Label group type is a component of LabelFile.
♦ You created a map rule that called the F_MakeLabels functional map.
♦ You used the Functional Map Wizard to automatically create a functional map.
! The map rules to generate labels with an optional middle name were
entered on the objects on the output card of the functional map. These map
rules used the
IF and the PRESENT functions.
The rules on the #1 LabelFile output card became unresolved due to the
difference in data structure. The unresolved rules appear automatically on the
Organizer window on the Unresolved Rules tab. These may be reused if
needed, but you deleted them and redefined the required map rules on a
functional map.
The ContactToFullLabel specifies FullContact.txt as the data source, and
generates the Label.txt output file. Optionally, the ContactToFullLabel output
card was edited to generate the FullLabel.txt output file.
♦ The ContactToFullLabel map was saved, built, and run.
♦ The results of the map were viewed.
