Copying Positions From a T-file Is Limited to Field Length

Since the introduction of sample tables, the NIPO ODIN Script language internally references database fields, even when copying data from a T-file. Positions referenced with *ADDRESS are mapped to database fields. This means that you can not copy positions that exceed the length of the database fields.

Example

Script Result

*PUT NAME 251L50

Only 35 positions (251-285) are copied because the field DisplayField4 is length 35 (251L35).

*MOVA 101L50 201L50

Only 15 positions (201-215) are copied because the field DisplayField2 is length 35 (181L35).


Take special care when copying data from, or into, literal positions using *ADDRESS. If possible, replace *ADDRESS with references to the actual field names using *SAMPLEDATA.
