Business Rules
This tab is used when you create business rule actions to extract and burst using line mode. The Extract - Line Mode business rule action extracts text from line data documents using rows and columns. The Burst - Line Mode business rule action splits line data documents (text documents with or without carriage control) based on data contained in the document. Use this tab to configure variables that are populated with data from the document or the document’s banner.

Lines per page - Specifies the number of lines per page. This is only available if you select to detect text using Lines. Standard lines per page values are 66 or 88 for an 11-inch page with either 6 or 8 lines per inch, respectively. The default value is 66.
