Exporting LOV and MLOV Data

When exporting List of Values (LOV) data, whether from an LOV column or a multilingual LOV (MLOV) column, the EIM engine populates the EIM table column with the display value of a specific language. The difference between the two cases is the following:

• When exporting from an LOV column, the EIM engine exports the display value stored in the column.
• When exporting from an MLOV column, EIM translates MLOV values during the export process. You do not need to populate the EIM table columns prior to the export. The EIM engine looks up the language-specific display value for the Language Independent Code (LIC) stored in the MLOV column, and puts the display value in the EIM table column.

  NOTE:  If you are exporting from an MLOV, you must set the LIC parameter to the appropriate language first. EIM exports the display value for the language specified.
