The following is a sample screenshot of the definition information management template.

Figure 4‒1: Sample screenshot of the definition information management template

The operation buttons are displayed at the top of the window, with the definition information input and display fields below. For imported or exported execution result files, the host name, service name, character code type and unit name are displayed immediately below the operation buttons. Note that any messages output in the definition information management template are displayed above the input and display fields.

Notes

Since the cell view method in the definition information management template uses the R1C1 format, column numbers are displayed in numbers, not letters.
The default zoom in the definition information management template is 75%. You can zoom in further if the characters are too small to be easily seen or the characters in the line are not displayed properly.
The default page setup for the definition information management template is 1 page wide by 50 pages tall. Adjust this setup as necessary when printing the definition information management template.

(2) The input and display field for definition information

The field for input and display is displayed in the lower part of the window. When import is performed, definition information is output into these fields. Enter definition information into these fields to perform export. The input rule that conforms to the corresponding item is already set for each cell.

When you mouse over the cell of an item title, an explanation of that item is displayed. Use these explanations as a reference when inputting or checking definition information. Note that these explanations will not appear for custom jobs. For details about each definition item, see 5. Definition Items.

The Excel auto-filter function is set for the item titles, allowing you to narrow down the display to only those units for which a certain value is specified.

When you perform import or export, a message might be output in the last column (Error message information section) of the definition information. If a message is output, the color of the Section cell changes.

Red : The type of the output message is an error (E).
Pink : The type of the output message is a warning (W).
Yellow : The type of the output message is information (I).
