Appendix B Defining Batch Load Control Cards Manually : Output Definition Cards

Output Definition Cards
The output definition card describes the layout of the TIBCO Object Service Broker table.
Field Values
Card Type (column 1)
The Card Type for the TIBCO Object Service Broker output definition is H.
Sequence # (columns 3 – 5)
The cards for the output definition must define fields in the order they appear in the TIBCO Object Service Broker table. The sequence number is defined to ensure this sequence is maintained. The output definitions for the parameters (for TDS only) must arrive before the output definitions for the fields.
Entry Type (column 7)
There are three possible values for entry type:
The R type entry is used to define the character set (columns 9‑12), and the TIBCO Object Service Broker table name using the TIBCO Object Service Broker name field (columns 64‑79). For a list of valid character set identifiers, refer to the documentation for BATCHLOAD_CARDS in TIBCO Object Service Broker Shareable Tools. Entry type R cards must come before P or F cards.
Name (columns 9 – 24)
The name of the TIBCO Object Service Broker parameter (for TDS only) or field.
Type or Syntax (columns 45 – 46)
These columns contain the syntax if the field is raw data or Unicode; otherwise, the semantic type of the parameter or field goes in column 46.
Syntax (column 48)
The syntax of the output parameter or field, for fields that are neither RD nor UN.
Maximum Length (columns 49 – 52)
The maximum length of the output parameter or field.
Decimal Position (columns 54 – 55)
The decimal position specified (that is, the number of post decimal positions) for a numeric parameter or field. If omitted, the decimal position defaults to 0.
Key Type (column 57)
This field specifies the TIBCO Object Service Broker field key type indicator for a given field. The key type indicator is one of the following values:
Primary key fields must be either cross-referenced to an input field or system generated (that is, an IDgen key). They must not appear on value cards.
Null-Equivalent Value (columns 64 – 79)
This field applies only to input fields defined with either syntax B or P. Refer to “Input Definition Cards” for more information.
Refer to Appendix C, Null Handling for more information.
