Company Field:.:Input A period (
.) is used as an abbreviation
of ellipses (

The shortest object name that is
different from all other object names in
the same map is used. Some object
names may not include ellipses,
because the shortest unique name is
the entire name.
Card Names in Map Rules
A map rule can refer to the entire card data object. For example, if an input card
name is OrderFile, the name for the entire card object is OrderFile.
The name of the card appears as the top data object of the card. In the example
shown below, the card name is OrderFile. This name appears last in each object
name:
Record:OrderFile
The card name is last
Quantity:Record:OrderFile
The card name is last
