Documentation

Definition

Field = 'X: The specified conversion routine for the target field is executed at the end of the rule using the result, and the result is copied to the target field.

Field = ' ': The specified conversion routine is not executed in the active version. However, after certain transformations, a check is performed to determine whether the value lies with the value set.

Use

Dependencies

If the indicator is set for a conversion routine and cannot be changed, even if you are in edit mode, then it is absolutely necessary to run the conversion routine to avoid inconsistencies (see example).

Example

The conversion routine ALPHA adds leading zeros to a value. This conversion routine must definitely be run if the rule concerns a routine or formula, or if the target field is longer than the source field. In these cases, it cannot be guaranteed that the leading zeros are retained. Therefore the conversion routine in such cases is always run, which means the field is selected and cannot be changed.
