DelExtRecords

Use this form set level rule to search the extract data list and delete all data records which match the search mask you specify.

For instance, you can use this rule to remove data records that are confidential, out of date, or should never be processed on the form.

To use this rule, you must add it to the AFGJOB.JDT file after the extract data is loaded but before the extract data is used for mapping or other purposes.

Syntax

;DelExtRecords;;;

Example

This example deletes all extract records which contain the text RECTYPE1 at offset 1, and KEY1 at offset 50.

;DelExtRecords;;1,RECTYPE1,50,KEY1;


	Note	Be sure that the search mask is specific enough to avoid deleting more records than intended.
