Rules for Creating DNI Configuration Members

Each DNI configuration member contains all of the parameters that are used to schedule requests for a single file template. When defining parameters, you must follow the specified rules.

Note: Individual parameters must be specified only once per member.

Parameters can be defined by using the following rules:

An asterisk (*) in column 1 indicates a comment. All data, including the continuation flag, is ignored.
Columns 1 - 71 can contain data. Parameters can start anywhere in columns 1 - 71.
Column 72 is the continuation column. When this column is turned on, the data will be continued in column 1 of the next record. If this column is turned on, all data up to column 71 must be entered.
Only one parameter is supported per record.
Parameter values end at the first space or null. If you want to imbed a space in a parameter value, the entire parameter value must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

Examples of valid parameters:

REQUEST=SEND

REQUEST=“SEND”

Examples of continuation parameters:

REMOTE_FILE=C:\WINDOWS\APPLICAITON\-
TESTDATA.TXT

REMOTE_FILE=“C:\WINDOWS\APPLICATION\-
	TEST DATA FOR ACCOUNTING.”
