The Match Constants File

The match constants file, matchConstants.cfg, defines certain configurable constants used by the match engine. This file includes four parameters, but currently only the first parameter, nFields, is used. This parameter defines the maximum number of fields being used for matching. This must be equal to or greater than the number of fields defined in the match-columns element of the Match Field file. The match constants file defines the following constants for the match engine.

• nFields - This constant defines the maximum number of different matching fields. You can enter any integer, but this number must be equal to or greater than the number of fields defined in the match-columns elements in the Match Field file.

• maxFreqTableSize - This constant is only used when frequency tables are used. This is not currently available and this constant is ignored.

• maxNumberTables - This constant is only used when frequency tables are used. This is not currently available and this constant is ignored.

• mcls - This constant is only used when the generic-type frequency tables are used. This is not currently available and this constant is ignored.
