Parse Key Method

This method generates a search specification from a given key and key description. The search specification can be fed into a query step (Siebel operation or otherwise) to look for the record that the key has specified.

The following are inputs for Parse Key:

• Key Description - String. This is a description of the key following the format described in Generate Key Method.
• Source Key - String. Along with the description, this defines the record you want to view.

Parse Key has only one output:

• Search Spec - String. This is the search specification used to execute the primary business component. Only one record is in this record set because it is unique.
