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.
