then individual fields may be split into multiple ones. Using text delimiters ensures that actual commas
within the data will not be interpreted as delimiters. If backslashes (\) are used in the data as text
delimiters, enter double backslashes (\\) in this box. You can also specify ASCII characters using octal
values preceded by a single backslash (for example, \041 for an exclamation mark).
Force one record per page: Select to prevent splitting records across pages. If this option is not
selected, when a document is printed, it may happen that the last record at the bottom of a page may
be split between two pages.
Field delimiter: Enter the character used to separate each field within the data. If backslashes (\) are
used in the data as delimiters, enter double backslashes (\\) in this box. You can also specify ASCII
characters using octal values preceded by a single backslash (for example, \041 for an exclamation
mark).
Set tab as field delimiter: Select if tabs used to separate each field within the data. Selecting this
option overrides any value entered in the Field delimiter box.
Channel skip emulation options
Skip page: Enter the code used within the data to mark the beginning of each page (the number 1 in
standard channel skip emulation). Note that if the standard code is used within the data as the skip
page code, it is likely that the other codes are also standard, and that you only need to make minor
changes to the other codes, if any.
No line feed: Enter the code used within the data to indicate that the next line feed character should be
ignored. This causes the next line to print over the current line, and is a technique impact printers use
to print a line, or elements of a line, in bold or with underlining.
Skip [x] lines: Enter the code used within the data to indicate that the corresponding number of lines
must be skipped.
Char and Skip to line: Enter the code used within the data to mark a jump to a different line in the
Char box, and enter the corresponding line number in the Skip to line box.
Char and Go to column: Enter the code used within the data to mark a jump to a different column in
the Char box, and enter the corresponding column number in the Go to column box.
