The output card #1 Label appears in the To window. The To window represents
the output data to which you are mapping. The output card #1 Label is displayed
in the To window. The output card Label represents the Label group type defined
in the Label.mtt type tree.
In the To window, the Label type on the output card #1 Label is currently
expanded to display the map rules on the data objects contained in the Label
card.
To expand the icon in the ContactFile input card
1 Click the plus sign (+) to the left of the ContactFile group type to display its
components.
2 Expand the Contact group type to view its components.
Note The Contact group type has a component range of (s), indicating a minimum of 0
(zero) occurrences and a maximum of some unknown number. Data objects with
a range of (0:s) are shown the data object name followed by (s) on the cards.
The Contact type appears as Contact (s) because of this component range.
Component ranges are defined in the Type Designer. The component range of the
Contact group type is defined in the Contact.mtt type tree.
There are an unknown number of contact records (represented by the Contact
group type) that exist in the file of contacts (represented by the ContactFile
group type).
