Copybooks

Copybooks

In the PowerExchange Navigator, the term
copybook
refers generically to data definitions for records, segments, fields, keys, and other items from a data source that you import into a data map to define the layout of the data.
Import a copybook to eliminate the need to manually define the layout of these items in a data map.
You can import a copybook when you add a data map or after you add it. You can also import one or more copybooks into a record or segment in a data map to add data definitions to the record or segment.
After you import a copybook, it is stored on the local system. You can then re-import that copybook from the local system.
Select the type of copybook to import in the
Type
list in the
Import Copybook - Source Details
dialog box. The types of copybooks that you can import depend on the data source type of the data map.
