VSAM Normalizer Tab

VSAM Normalizer Tab

When you create a VSAM Normalizer transformation, the Mapping Designer creates the columns from a COBOL source. The Normalizer tab displays the same information as the COBOL source definition. You cannot edit the columns on a VSAM Normalizer tab.
The following table describes attributes on the VSAM Normalizer tab:
Attribute
Description
POffs
Physical offset. Location of the field in the file. The first byte in the file is zero.
Plen
Physical length. Number of bytes in the field.
Column Name
Name of the source field.
Level
Provides column group hierarchy. The higher the level number, the lower the data is in the hierarchy. Columns in the same group occur beneath a column with a lower level number. When each column is the same level, the transformation contains no column groups.
Occurs
The number of instances of a column or group of columns in the source row.
Datatype
The transformation datatype can be String, Nstring, or Number.
Prec
Precision. Length of the column.
Scale
Number of decimal positions for a numeric column.
Picture
How the data is stored or displayed in the source. Picture 99V99 defines a numeric field with two implied decimals. Picture X(10) indicates ten characters.
Usage
COBOL data storage format such as COMP, BINARY, and COMP-3. When the Usage is DISPLAY, the Picture clause defines how the source data is formatted when you view it.
Key Type
Type of key constraint to apply to the field for a VSAM file. Choose one of the following key types:
  • Not a Key. The field is not an index in a VSAM file.
  • Primary Key. The field is the primary index in the VSAM file. The field contains unique values.
  • Alternate Key. The field is a secondary index in the VSAM file. The field contains unique values.
  • Primary Duplicate Key. The field is the primary index in the VSAM file. The field can contain duplicate values.
  • Alternate Duplicate Key. The field is a secondary index in the VSAM file. The field can contain duplicate values.
Signed (S)
Indicates whether numeric values are signed.
Trailing Sign (T)
Indicates that the sign (+ or -) exists in the last digit of the field. If not enabled, the sign appears as the first character in the field.
Included Sign (I)
Indicates whether the sign is included in any value appearing in the field.
Real Decimal Point (R)
Indicates whether the decimal point is a period (.) or the decimal point is represented by the V character in a numeric field.
Redefines
Indicates that the column REDEFINES another column.
Business Name
Descriptive name that you give to a column.
