Documentation

Definition

Data transfer rules determine how the fields of the "receiver structure" are to be filled. You can choose from the following rules:

• "SET": This option lets you fill the corresponding field of the receiver record with a fixed characteristic value.
• "MOVE": This option transfers the characteristic value of the sender field to the corresponding receiver field. You can also specify selection criteria to determine which sender values are transferred. This rule is recommended for transfers where the sender and receiver structures are the same.
• "GROUP": Certain characteristic values of the sender structure are assigned to a characteristic value in the receiver structure. You can define the selection criteria for those characteristic values that you want to assign to the receiver structure. This option lets you change the key of field values or derive values from other fields.
• "COMBINE": With this option you can derive the value for one characteristic in the receiver structure from multiple values in the sender structure. Unlike "GROUP", "COMBINE" lets you reference multiple fields of the sender record.
• "SET_R": This rule is always used together with "MOVE", "COMBINE", or "GROUP". These three rules let you represent values from sender fields as values in receiver fields. "SET_R" is used to specify a characteristic value (constant) to represent those (sender) characteristic values that are not assigned. The rule "SET_R" should not be used together with "MOVE_R".
• "MOVE_R": This rule must be used together with "GROUP". This rule transfers all the characteristic values of the sender structure that are not specified in a "GROUP" rule.
