Documentation
Definition
Indicates that the field length is measured in bytes.
Use
Select the indicator if you want to specify the node field length in bytes.
If you have set Enable Length in Bytes in the file header data, the system allows you to determine to use or not to use the unit of byte. In this way, the system supports multiple byte character set in such languages as Korean.
Dependencies
This indicator works only when the node has the type "character".
Example
Suppose that the node value of type "character" is ÊÊÊ. These three characters are six-byte long. Possible scenarios are as follows:
CASE 1
The file is defined with a five-byte long node. In this case, ÊÊÊ, whichis longer than five-byte, will be truncated at the end. The output ÊÊ, however, is four-byte long. To make the length to five-byte, one space is added to the end.
CASE 2
The file is defined with a six-byte long node. In this case, ÊÊÊ, whose length is exactly the same, will not be truncated at all. Moreover, the output ÊÊÊ does not contain any extra spaces.
CASE 3
The file is defined with a seven-byte long node. In this case, ÊÊÊ, which is shorter than the maximum, will not be truncated. But in the output, ÊÊÊ will be followed by one space at the end.
