Intermate i5 Length, Compare type, Occurrence, Number of lines to Handle, Action, Line-ID code

Position		The starting position of the text compare.
Length		The length of text to compare.
Compare type		The type of compare to do. Refer to page 67 for an explanation.
Compare value		The text, that should be compared with.
Occurrence		States which of the lines (fitting the condition), that should be selected:
		*FIRST will be used only for the first time this line is found after a level
		break and *LAST will be used for the last time only that this line is
		found within a level break.
Number of lines to
handle		Here you state how many detail lines, that should be 'taken' from the
		original spooled file if the condition is true. All the lines from the
		original spooled file will be available for reformatting when
		progressing. If you use *VAR this line will get all the detail lines of the
		original spooled file until this or another condition is true.
Action		Select *REFORMAT if you want the text of the input detail line(s) on
		the output spooled file as well. Use *DELETE if this line (or lines)
		should not be visible on the output spooled file.
Line-ID code		A code for this kind of detail line. This will be inserted on the output
		spooled file e.g. to be used for conditioning in the overlay design. The
Call user		position where this is placed is decided as described on page 222.
exit program		Tells InterForm400 if the user exit program should be called for this
		detail line. The program to call is defined as described on page 223
		where you also can find additional information. If you activate this call
		this window will pop up:
	Exit fields
	Detail exit field-1		Line __	position ___	length ___
	Detail exit field-2		Line __	position ___	length ___
	Detail exit field-3		Line __	position ___	length ___
	Placing return fields
	Return field-1	Lineno. ____		position ___
	Return field-2	Lineno. ____		position ___
	Return field-3	Lineno. ____		position ___
	F3=Exit			F12=Cancel

Here you can specify the information, that you want to transfer from the spooled file onto the user program and where you want to place returned information. The line numbers are all relative to the line where the condition is met.

If you above have chosen *REFORMAT for the action to take you will see a list of lines describing how the output detail line(s) should look. You can insert 2 types of definition lines:

1 = Reformat input:

Seqnbr. Type	Input line	position	length	Output line	position
1.0 1	__	___	___	__	___
