Using the Data Conversion Utility

Data Conversion Utility

Most users will not have to convert data formats. If you think this conversion is necessary, please contact Barr Systems Technical Support to ensure the data is converted properly.

To convert data formats, you must create a DCO (Data Conversion Object) chain. DCO chains consist of an input format and an output format. The available output formats vary depending on the input format selected. You can also set specific DCO parameters depending on your needs.

Complete the following steps to convert data formats.

  1. Open the Data Conversion Utility. (Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the directory where the Barr software is installed, open the Spooler folder, and then open the Exe folder. Double-click DataConversionUtility.exe. The default directory is \\Program Files\Barr\Spooler\Exe, unless an alternate path was specified during installation.)

  2. Click Select Chain. The Select DCO Chain dialog box displays.

  3. Select the Input format and Output format from the drop-down lists and click OK. Pairing an input format with an output format creates a chain. This chain is displayed in the Current chain box. The DCOs available for each format are displayed in the Registered DCOs box. Refer to the DCO descriptions table for a description of each DCO.

  4. Under Registered DCOs, select the DCOs you want to add and click the right arrow (>). This will add the selected DCOs to the Current chain box. If necessary, you can import DCOs to appear in the Registered DCOs box. Click Import and navigate to the appropriate .dll file. This file will be copied to your \\Program Files\Barr\Spooler\Exe folder, unless an alternate path was specified during installation.

  1. To remove DCOs, under Current chain, select the DCOs you want to remove and click the left arrow (<).

  2. Click Move Up and Move Down to modify the processing order.

  3. Click Save As to save your changes to the chain. The Save As dialog box displays.

  4. To create a new chain, select Create new chain and type an Output format name. The chain will be saved using the displayed Input format and the specified Output format. To overwrite the existing chain, select Replace existing chain. Click Save. If you overwrite a Barr default chain, the default will be modified and all jobs using that chain will be affected. Typically, you will save your changes to a new chain. You can reapply all of the default settings by clicking Restore Defaults. Restoring the defaults will not change any new chains you have created.

  1. Set DCO parameters as necessary. Parameter changes will be saved to the active chain. Verify that you have the appropriate chain open before you modify your parameter settings.

  1. Click Set Parameters. The Initialization Parameters dialog box displays.

  2. Under Chain selection, verify that the appropriate chain is selected. If the chain selection is incorrect, click Cancel and select the correct chain.

  3. Click Add to add a new parameter, or click Modify to modify an existing parameter. The Parameter Settings dialog box displays.

  4. Select an existing parameter Name from the drop-down list, or type a new name. Refer to the DCO parameters table for a description of the parameters and their appropriate values and types.

  5. Enter the parameter Value.

  6. Select the parameter Type from the drop-down list. If you select an existing parameter Name, this value will be selected for you.

  7. Click OK. This will save your parameter settings to the active DCO chain. To save you changes to a new chain, you must open the new chain and then reapply your parameter changes.

  1. Populate the NDHBODCO header field with the name of the output DCO chain. This header field is contained in the Data Set Header Internal Custom Section. Use one of the following methods to assign this header field value.

  2. Add the NDHBODCO - Output DCO chain column to the Spool Window. Then click the Output DCO chain column for the desired data set, and type the name of the output DCO chain.

  3. Create an override table to populate the NDHBODCO - Output DCO chain header field with the name of the output DCO chain when specific conditions occur.

  4. Add the NDHBODCO - Output DCO chain header field as an attribute value to files sent to the Spool Window by Print Utility.

DCO descriptions

Name

Description

Parameters

Afp2PRRDCO

Conditional page breaks are also inserted at the beginning and end of the data based on the page dirty flag and conditional page break settings.

If the output is optimized then a FF (0x0C) will be used to get to top of form when a page break is inserted.  Otherwise the required number of CR LFs (0x0D0A) will be used.

Searches for line data that has machine carriage control skip immediate (0x03) or print and skip immediate (0x01). When this is found, that line is stored and the following line in the stream is examined. A character-by-character comparison is done for the two lines. The character from the first line is used in all cases except when the character in the first line is a space character and when the character in the first line is an underscore ("_") and the character in the second line is NOT a space.

Because the CC must be machine, this DCO should be used after the Mixed2Machine DCO in the DCO chain. This will make sure the search works properly.

DCO_ULONG_SEND_FCB

DCO_STRING_RETURN_LAST_FCB (*)

DCO_ULONG_STRIPCHAR

PRR2StripLeadPageBreaksDCO

Removes all leading page breaks from a stream of data. The DCO receives data in the Printer Ready Record format. The data is assumed to be in Machine format, so this translates to all leading records with 0x8B carriage control being stripped. The output records are in the PRR record format.

NONE

PRR2StripNonPrintMCCDCO

Strips any record which does not contain a Machine Carriage Control (MCC) Print Carriage command (e.g. FCB 0x63) from the data stream.

NONE

PRR2StripXeroxDCO

Strips DJDE records that begin with $$XEROX. This is a custom DCO created for a specific customer with sample data. In all cases the $$XEROX occurred after the CC and first byte of data, so that is where the DCO searches for the text.
