The next step is to define the conditions for this parsing as well as the name of the parsing.  You could limit a parsing based on a record containing a specific string, and record length.  Once the parsing has been determined to be active for the record you can also have the data modified using an Edit. 

i  These conditions are not the only conditions that are required to be met before the parsing becomes active.  You can further specify that certain fields must be present within the record by defining them in the next step Define Fields.

The following further explains each option on the Parsing Conditions dialog.

Parsing Name

This is the name of the parsing that is displayed on the Define Parsings dialog in the previous step.

Record Length

To have this parsing active for records of a specific length requirement, check this check box and enter the length in the text box.  Next you will need to set the length matching conditions where the length can be one of the following: Matches Exactly, Greater Than, Greater Than or Equal To, Less Than, Less Than or Equal To the specified number of characters.

Contains String

Enter the string that must be found in the record. Each character must be present in the string.

i  If you wish to enter special characters such as a carriage return, line feed, tab or function key, they can be entered using a $ followed by the HEX value of the key.  Hex values can be found in the Special Characters Table.

i  If you wish to have the parsing active for records with multiple possible character combinations you may use the $FF special character to enter a list of strings to search for in the Contains String edit control.  For example to have a Parsing active for records containing ;6011, ;6015, and ;6057 you would enter the following in the Contains Strings: ;6011$FF;6015$FF;6057

Begins At

Enter the location where the string must begin.  This can be set to Start+#, End-#, or Anywhere in data.

Edit

After the parsing conditions have been satisfied you can have the Keyboard Accelerator modify the record further by specifying an edit to use.  On the Define Filters/Edits dialog you can choose any of the 6 pre-defined Remap Lists, or create your own Edit, or Filter list.
