Use this procedure/function to create an overflow symbol. This procedure provides DAL with an equivalent to the Documaker Server SetOvFlwSym rule that is placed in the AFGJOB.JDT file.
AddOvFlwSym (Form, Symbol, MaxRecords)
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
Form |
Enter the name of the form that contains the fields on which overflow processing will occur. |
|
Symbol |
Enter the character you want to use as the overflow symbol. |
|
MaxRecords |
Enter the maximum number of overflow records to be processed for the section per page of output. |
The system optionally returns one (1) on success or zero (0) on failure.
This procedure creates an overflow symbol associated with the section you specified.
Here are some examples:
Assume that the section, CP0101NL, has three overflow lines and the extract file is a standard Documaker Server extract file.
#add_rc = AddOvFlwSym ("CP0101NL", "Loc_Cnt", 3)
In this example, an overflow variable called Loc_Cnt would be associated with the section, CP0101NL and the number of overflow lines would be set to three (3). The DAL integer variable, #add_rc, would be set to a one (1) on success or zero (0) on failure.
You define the search mask for the field or the XDB name associated with the field, as follows:
@GetRecUsed, CP0101NL, Loc_Cnt/10,HeaderRec 50,20
Here is another example:
Assume the extract file is in XML format and includes an element/node, Location, that can repeats or occurs multiple times.
AddOvFlwSym ("Loc_Cnt", "XML")
In this example, an overflow variable called Loc_Cnt would be defined. You would use this variable in the XPath predicate for repeating elements/nodes. You would define the XPath search mask for the field or the XDB name associated with the field, as follows:
!/DOCC/InsuranceSvcRq/PolicyPrintRq/ClPropLineBusiness[**Loc_Cnt**]/Location
