DumpExtractListToFile

Use this form set level rule to dump the extract list to a file. This rule is helpful if you are debugging and you want to see what is currently in the extract list.

Syntax

;DumpExtractListToFile;;(parameters);

Parameter

Description

Name

Name of the file to which the extract records will be written.

Flag

The append flag. Enter Y to append the records for each transaction to the file plus a header. Enter N to only create a dump file for the last transaction.

Example

;DumpExtractListToFile;;ExtrDump.txt,Y;

For each transaction in the extract file, the system appends to the EXTRDUMP.TXT file a transaction header plus the contents of each record in the transaction. Here is an example of this file:

*************************************************

==> Extract data for:

TransactionId:<Patch399>

GroupName1:<CWNG>

GroupName2:<CIS>

GroupName3:<>

External Form Name:<>

Transaction Type:<>

**************************************************

Patch399 HEADER CWNGCIS Patch # …

Patch399 GVM1 Morris Sandra …

**************************************************

==> Extract data for:

 

TransactionId:<Patch400>

GroupName1:<CWNG>

GroupName2:<CIS>

GroupName3:<>

External Form Name:<>

Transaction Type:<>

**************************************************

Patch400 HEADER CWNGCIS Patch # …

Patch400 GVM1 Bob Jane …

     
Note The Y option can create a very large file, depending on the size of the extract file.
