The Data Selector

The Data Selector is the tool you use to choose your sample data and metadata files, to select the appropriate emulation,

make data selections, and to stabilize your data.

The Data Selector is divided in two tabs:Data and Metadata. The Data tab contains the Data Options, which let you select your

emulation, and the Selector Options, which lets you personalize the data selector's display options (see "Data Selector Display

Preferences" (page 80))

Depending on the chosen emulation and data file, the options in the data selector, the Sample data file section and the Data

Pane itself may change to accommodate your choice. The Line Printer, Ascii, Channel Skip and User-Defined emulations will

display the default options (see the "Emulation" (page 90) section)and a grid-like display of each character on each line. The

following emulations however, will be slightly different.

Database Emulation

The Database emulation changes the Browse button( ) for the Database Emulation Configuration button ( ),

which displays the Database Emulation Configuration (see "Database Emulation" (page 93)).

l Once a database has been opened and query entered, the Data Pane displays the results of the SQLQuery in a grid for-

mat, which each line representing a single returned row from the database. Each column represents a field returned by

the query, with its field name as a row header.
