Syntax for creating a conditional computed field in a script

renekennedy — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:19:37 +0000

contrary to the proper syntax in the literature, the appropriate ACL syntax for creating a conditional computed field with the STATIC option enabled is as follows:

DEFINE FIELD COMPUTED
IF FIND( “characters to search” field to search in) STATIC
SUBSTR( _____Start_section_for_RUNNING_ , 24 , 80 )

NOTE: no space in between second and third lines, hope this saves someone lots of time debugging.
thanks,
rene

Using the DIR Command in a script

renekennedy — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:07:09 +0000

I found out through a weekend long trial and error session that when using the
DIR command to read the input into a script, you should use the ALLTRIM
command to shorten the variable filename. For example, you call a variable
v_file =filename (this the variable used to the store the name/path of the files)
v_shortname (this is the name you want ACL to use in the IMPORT)
v_shortname ALLTRIM(v_file)
