4 Expand the Delimiter property.
5 For the variable Delimiter > Item property, select SegmentDelimiter from
the drop-down list.
6 For the variable Terminator > Item, select SegmentTerminator from the
drop-down list.
During the data validation process, the component SegmentDelimiter appears in
the data with a value of
*. The group type Segment has a variable delimiter
specified as the item type SegmentDelimiter, with the value
*. Therefore, it is
understood that the segment has
* as the delimiter.
When the value of a syntax object appears as actual data, it can be mapped as
data. For example, source data may use different delimiters from several different
sources. Acknowledgments of this data must be sent back to the source using the
delimiter used in the original data. This data can be mapped from the input to the
output if these syntax objects are defined as components within the data.
Delimiter > Find
When syntax objects are Variable, the Find property must be defined. The Find
property determines whether the value of syntax object is set on each occurrence
or whether the current setting (or default value) is used.
