On outbound transaction maps, Source: Application Data is on the left side of the window and Destination: <standard> data is on the right.
You can perform element-related actions the following ways:
Highlight an element and use the Element, File, or Edit menu on the Mapping window
Right-click an element and choose from the drop-down list that displays.
Some actions are available by only one of these methods, while others can be performed in more than one way.
Right-clicking an element in the Destination: <standard> data section provides a drop-down list in which you can:
Map the element to a field in the output application record
Map the element to a memory variable
Map the element to a special memory variable called a conditional variable
Copy mapping from one element to another
Add element codes to an element; ignoring (not mapping) the element
Automatically create a field in the output record based on the element: associating a rule with the element
Link the element to a cross-reference table; attaching a condition to the element
Make the element trading-partner-specific
Enter informational notes for the segment.
Highlighting an element and using the Element menu provides some additional choices. Although you cannot map the element or use the element to automatically create a field in the output, you can
Associate a rule with the element; link the element to a cross-reference table; attach a condition to the element
Make the element trading-partner-specific
Enter informational notes for the segment
Create and insert into a segment a simple copy of an element
Create and insert into a segment a copy of an element that includes all associated mapping, rules, and cross-reference tables
Delete an element from a segment
Update mapping for the element to include any changes that have been made to a record field or memory variable since the element was mapped
Me the element mandatory
Zero-fill the data in the element, justify it, or truncate it
Save data and paste it into the element.
Highlighting an element and using the File and Edit and menus at the top of the Mapping window also allows you perform the following.
When you use the:
File menu – create and insert a new element.
Edit menu – create and insert a simple copy of an element, create and insert a copy of an element with all associated mapping actions, or delete a segment.
