Store Index Tab
Figure 42. Store Index Tab
The Store Index In Register option stores in a register the number of the first
record in the file that passes the verification. If there is no match, it stores the
position of the last record. Select a register name from the list. This option is
only available when the
Verify Source option is set to File.
Next Nodes
Next node specifies the next operation to go to when the verify function suc-
ceeds or fails.
Copy Nodes
Copy nodes are used to move data between registers and files. Collected data is
often stored temporarily in a register until it is validated. Then a
Copy node
transfers the data into a file. A
Copy node can also copy data from a portable
file to a register, where it can be referenced or displayed. You can also use a
Copy node to copy a constant value to a register or file or to copy data between
files and between registers.
Figure 43 on page 67 shows the dialog box associated with a Copy node.
None Requires no match; it tests only on the basis of type.
Constant Compares the value in the data source to a constant value
Range Verifies that the value in the data source falls between an upper
and a lower value
Register name Verifies that the value in the data source matches the value in a
specified register (refer to Registers on page 78
, for details on
specifying a register location.)
Ignore Case
Ignore Case verifies the data match regardless of capitalization.
If you want the data to be case specific, make sure this option is
not selected.
