Mask Segments (tcibd4503m000)

Field Information

Mask Code

The mask for which you view, create, or maintain mask segments.

Segment Number

The number that indicates the sequence of the mask segments. The sequence numbers do not need to be consecutive.

Segment Type

The type of information that the segment contains.

Allowed values

Option

A product feature only used in an assembly-controlled environment.

Infor LN Field

The contents of a specific field in LN. Note that the segment is only generated correctly if the field has a value and belongs to the package in which the identification code is generated.

Sequence

The item's sequence number.

Translation Table

Select this segment type if you want the identification code to contain a converted value. For example, instead of the year 2006, the letter D is added; instead of 2005, the identification code contains C. You must also define a translation table in the Translation Tables (tcibd4504m000) session. The translation table type determines the type of information that is converted: Option, Infor LN Field, or Date. Define the translations table's values in the Values by Translation Table (tcibd4106m000) session.

Date

A year, month number, date, weekday number, hours, or minutes.

Alphanumeric

A fixed string of numbers or characters.

Segment Length

The segment's number of positions. LN displays a default segment length, but for some segment types you can change the default length.

Segment Value

The value that belongs to the segment type.

• If the segment type is Alphanumeric, the defined alphanumeric string is displayed.
• If the segment type is Sequence, the first free sequence number is displayed.
