Load Table Forum *Training Required

Load Table Forum

Output load table to Excel – it gives you a line #

Export one record, edit 1 thing, then import back in to insure correct processing

Use WordPad, not Word - Annotate the load tables

III needs to announce when a new, updated manual is available

III needs to incorporate a date into each of the manuals

Use record type within the load table name [great descriptor]

Document your load tables

Request III to delete old / unused load tables

Change your template when:

You have to do a global update to make changes to a loaded table

OR to create a new load table

Use Mgr-Controlled Options to set who can see which load table

Using Data Maps in Load Tables [caution: MAPs EAT CPU]

Can use regular expressions

Only use a map if you want to ‘include / exclude / change’ but only if ‘certain criteria’ is met If change is on a fixed length field – only field goes to map If change is on a variable length field – entire tag goes to map Use maps to convert dates / place ending dates TEST your map on 1 record before using it

If it s one=time job – use Global Update
