Use the Ignore option after you finish all of your element-to-field mapping. Ignore specifies that unmapped elements are not to be mapped. The All option on the Ignore submenu causes all unmapped elements in all segments to not be mapped. The Current option on the Ignore submenu specifies that only unmapped elements in the currently high-lighted segment should not be mapped. When an element is ignored, IGNVAR appears in the record column on the Mapping section at the bottom of the Mapping window and IGNORE appears in the Field Name column.
