Mapping to Multiple Occurrences of a Group
When an output group has a range with a maximum greater than 1 and you want
to map a certain input group to that output group, there are two possibilities:
♦ If the input group is the same as the output group, drag the input object from
the input card to the map rule of the object on the output card. The output is
created up to its maximum range.
♦ If the input group is different from the output group, use a functional map.
Note To generate occurrences of an output group based on occurrences of input data,
use a functional map.
Indexing an Input
When a map rule refers to a particular occurrence of an input, the input must be
indexed.
Note The Use Ellipses option must be disabled when indexing. From the Tools menu,
choose Options > Rule Bar and disable the Use Ellipses check box.
To index an input
1 In the map rule of the output object, enter the index number in square
brackets
[ ] immediately after the input object you are indexing.
