Transform Record Mode (Advanced) dialog box

Business Rules

Use this dialog box to configure a business rule action to transform documents using record mode (advanced). This advanced option is used to perform custom conversions using DCO chains. This provides flexibility to specify code pages, carriage controls, record formats, etc. for the incoming document and the output desired.

If needed, you can use the Data Conversion Utility to create custom DCOs for converting data formats. This will not be necessary for most users. If you think this conversion is necessary, please contact Barr Systems Technical Support to ensure the data is converted properly.
