PSC PT Program Generator Copy Nodes, Next Nodes, Store Index Tab

Creating & Using Nodes

None	Requires no match; it tests only on the basis of type.
Constant	Compares the value in the data source to a constant value
Range	Verifies that the value in the data source falls between an upper
	and a lower value
Register name	Verifies that the value in the data source matches the value in a
	specified register (refer to Registers on page 78, for details on
	specifying a register location.)
Ignore Case	Ignore Case verifies the data match regardless of capitalization.
	If you want the data to be case specific, make sure this option is
	not selected.

Store Index Tab

Figure 42. Store Index Tab

The Store Index In Register option stores in a register the number of the first record in the file that passes the verification. If there is no match, it stores the position of the last record. Select a register name from the list. This option is only available when the Verify Source option is set to File.

Next Nodes

Next node specifies the next operation to go to when the verify function succeeds or fails.

Copy Nodes

Copy nodes are used to move data between registers and files. Collected data is often stored temporarily in a register until it is validated. Then a Copy node transfers the data into a file. A Copy node can also copy data from a portable file to a register, where it can be referenced or displayed. You can also use a Copy node to copy a constant value to a register or file or to copy data between files and between registers.

Figure 43 on page 67 shows the dialog box associated with a Copy node.
