ContactToLabel Map Target
♦ The label.txt file containing a label contact record is the output of the
ContactToLabel map.
♦ The structure of this Label record is defined in the Label.mtt type tree.
♦ The Label group type defines the components of the Label record.
♦ The components of the Label group type are arranged in the order they
appear in the data stream.
The Label output card on the ContactToLabel map represents the Label group
type. For that reason, the structure of the Label output card is the same as the
structure of the Label group type as defined in the Label group window.
In the Type Designer In the Map Designer
The Label group window
contains the components of
the Label record in the order
they appear in the data
stream.
The Label output card definition specifies
the Label.mtt type tree and the Label
Data type.
The Label type defines the structure and
properties of the data in the card.
The specification of the Label type and
the Label.mtt type tree that contains it is
the link between the Type Designer and
the Map Designer that defines the
structure and properties of the data in the
card.
