| To use parameters in a condition script |  |
| Parameters are used to define an ASCII file field in a condition script. The ASCII file fields of a record that must be imported, are not automatically defined in a condition script. To use the value of an ASCII file field, you must use that field as a parameter in the condition script. Example An ASCII file contains ASCII file fields fld1, fld2 and fld3. Fields fld2 and fld3 are alphanumeric fields. A table contains fields fld1 and tfld. Field tfld is a field of string type. If you want to assign the combination of the fields fld2 and fld3 to table field tfld, you must use a condition that contains: `return( fld2 & fld3)` To make this possible you must define two alphanumeric parameters, fld2 and fld3. Note The parameter name must be identical to the name of the ASCII file field in the record it refers to. The data type of the parameter must also be identical to that of the ASCII file field.
