Noconvertflds Definition

The noconvertflds definition specifies which fields in your source data should not be converted to character-based data (ASCII or EBCDIC) during the database build process. For example, if your source data has one or more fields that contain binary data, such as an image, use the noconvertflds definition to prevent the Open SiteSearch Database Builder software from converting the binary data in those fields to character-based format.

Syntax

noconvertflds from(fieldlist)

Element

Description

noconvertflds

Denotes the noconvertflds option within the .dsc file.

fieldlist

Contains a list of fields that are not converted by the defined or default characterset variable(s). The format of the fieldlist is an ASN.1/BER tag path. Use a comma-space to separate multiple tag paths. The question mark ('?') is used as a wildcard to include any field that meets the criteria set by the rest of the ASN.1/BER tag paths identified.

Example

When using the noconvertflds variable, follow the example below as a guideline.

noconvertflds from(1, 059/1, 5/11/2/3)
