Within this screen, simply enter in the ten character application name, and its corresponding description. Once this definition has been created, the application may be selected with an option 2 Configure datamap. The point of configuring a datamap from a spooled file is to select a spooled file that will contain a single financial transaction per page and map the location of each relevant data element from the first page from the beginning of its location to the maximum width of its ending location.

Initially, a listing of the current users spooled files will display. Alternatively, an F5=Out Queue may be select to view all the spooled files from a single out queue. Once a sample spooled file is identified, the selection is chosen from the list, and the fist of eleven data elements may be mapped.

Below is a list of these eleven reserved field names and their descriptions.

The process begins by locating the first position of the fist element, Vendor Account, and placing the cursor in the beginning location of this field an pressing the F8=Mark data field start. Next the end of the element is located, and F8=Mark data field end is pressed. Completing the data field selection will render the next display which requires that the details of this mapped data to be configured.

From within this screen locating the cursor in the prompt for field name and pressing F4=List will enable the reserved field names from the table above to be displayed. Simply selecting the reserved field name from the list will populate not only the prompt for the field name but also the description.

This data mapping process continues until all eleven elements from the first page are mapped and configured.
