The following table explains each field of the Mapping Page Segment Name display: Table35.MappingPageSegmentNamedisplayfields Field Name Description NBR Shows the serial number of the mapping. You can specify up to 99 mappings. Database field value Specifies the field value in the database record. The comparison between the data specified on this field and the data in the record is processed as characters with blank padding to the right of actual data. If the field is a numeric field, AFP Utilities for iSeries converts the numeric value to a character string based on the numeric definition (total digit, fractional digit, edit code, and so on). Then AFP Utilities for iSeries searches the value in the mapping with the converted string. You can specify an asterisk (*) as a wild card. AFP Utilities for iSeries maps all variable data beginning with the specified characters. The format of wild card is ’ABC*’. When you use this wild card, all variables beginning with ’ABC’ such as ’ABC’, ’ABCD’, or ’ABC123’ can be mapped to the object specified in the Page segment field. Note: When a page segment matches more than one value specified in the database field value, the value with the lowest sequence number is tested first. This should be considered when a wildcard is first in sequence. In the following example, the wildcard is tested first and will get a match on ’ABC.’ The mapping values ’ABC’ and ’ABA’ are never tested. NBR Database field value 1 AB* 2 ABC 3 ABA Page segment Specifies the page segment name to which the field value should be mapped. Note: You can specify the data in the same way when other object types are mapped. Chapter 10. Work with PFD Definitions 193
