Attribute Valid Value Interface (MX160)

Run Attribute Valid Value Interface (MX160) to load attribute values or ranges of values imported from a non-Lawson file into the Attribute Matrix application.

A non-Lawson file must have been imported into the interface file MXVALREL (UNIX/Windows) or DBIFMVR (IBM i), and you should have reviewed and edited the contents of MXVALREL (UNIX/Windows) or DBIFMVR (IBM i) using Attribute Valid Value Adjustment (MX60.1) before running this program.

More information

If you leave the Run Group field blank, the load will include all run groups.

If you select an attribute in the Attribute field, only the values for that attribute Will be loaded.

If you select R (Report only) in the Update Option field, the program does not update any records and produces an error report.

If you select L (Load) in the Update Option field, the program deletes and replaces all existing values, and adds new values.

If you select A (Append) in the Update Option field, the program appends new values to the existing values.

If you Select U (Update) in the Update Option field, the program ignores existing values that do not overlap, replaces overlapping values, and adds new values.

If you select Y (Yes) in the Update Type field, the program will load only the valid records. MX60.1 will then display only those records that are in error.

If you select N (No) in the Update Type field, the program will not load any values until all errors are corrected. No is the default.

The Update Type field is significant only if you select L (Load), A (Append) or U (Update) in the Update Option field.

Run Attribute Valid Value Listing (MX260) to list the attribute values contained in the Attribute Valid Values Interface file (MXVALREL) (UNIX/Windows) or (DBIFMVR) (IBM i).
