1.7.2 Notes on using the definition information management template

If a warning is displayed when you open the definition information management template, click the Enable macros button.
Since the definition information management template uses a significant amount of memory, try not to open multiple templates.
Do not change the format of any cells.

A format appropriate for the definition item is already set for each cell. If you change this format, the processing results of import and export may become invalid.
Do not delete any columns.

If you delete any columns, import and export processing will not function properly. If there are any unnecessary columns, customize them so that they are not displayed. For details about this customization, see 3.1.4 Environment settings and 3.2 Environment settings parameters.
After copying or cutting cells to be pasted in another area, paste them in the same column. If you paste them in a different column, the input restrictions will not match those set for the rest of the column, and the processing results may become invalid.
If the value of a cell is longer than 256 characters, it will be displayed as a hash sign (#), but this will not affect import or export.
If the number of characters in a cell exceeds 1,024, only the first 1,024 characters are displayed in the cell. To edit after 1,024 characters, first select the cell, and then use the formula bar.
Note that editing a cell containing a long string might take time.
If the string in a cell exceeds 1,024 characters, JP1/AJS3 - Definition Assistant prints only the first 1,024 characters.
If multiple lines are defined in a cell which allows inputting values from the drop down list, edit with the arithmetic bar after selecting the cell. If multiple lines are defined in the cell, using the drop down list to select a value results in discarding values in the multiple line.
You cannot use the macro functions of the current version for the execution result files created by the previous versions. Before using them, you must convert the execution result files to the format of the current version. To convert the execution result files of the previous versions, execute the following commands:
```
ajsdaconvert -i folder-for-execution-result-file-before-conversion
             -o folder-for-execution-result-file-after-conversion
```
For the details about the ajsdaconvert command, see ajsdaconvert in 7. Commands.
Due to the Excel specifications, a single quotation mark (') at the beginning of the value entered in a cell is treated as a prefix and cannot be recognized as a character. Therefore, if definition information beginning with' is imported, the beginning ' will not be recognized in the definition information management template. If you use the execution result file for this import to export definition information to the manager host by using a batch definition, individual definition, or the modification function, note that the ' that could not be recognized when importing will be lost.
When processing takes a long time, No response might be displayed in the title bar of the window. However, processing is being performed and there is no problem.
When you specify a host name with an IPv6 address, it might not be possible to use special IP addresses or notation. For details about the special IP addresses and notation that cannot be used, see the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide.
