&DEFINITION&
An initialization character is a single character in a spreadsheet's
cell that is used during a mass data update. The initialization
character resets the contents of the corresponding application database
table field.
&USE&
The system uses a spreadsheets contents to override fields in
application database tables as follows:
If a cell contains a non-null value, that value will override the
corresponding database field.
If a cell contains no value, the corresponding database field will be
unchanged.
If a cell contains an initialization character, the corresponding
database field will be cleared and contain no value.
If the initialization character is undefined, the database fields that
correspond to empty table cells will be cleared, without the need to
enter the initialization character in each table cell.

&DEFINITION&
Indicates whether you want the system to handle multiple successive
delimiter characters to be treated as a single occurrence when importing
values.
&USE&
This feature is mainly recommended when importing from text files or
from the clipboard (as opposed to from spreadsheets). Use this option
only if you are certain of the following:
Not all rows contain an identical number of delimiters and fields
Delimiters were only used to arrange the columns correctly for printing
purposes

&DEFINITION&
Indicates whether or not the spreadsheet contains a header line.
&USE&
The header line is the first line of the spreadsheet and contains the
technical name in the format <NP>[TABLENAME-]FIELDNAME</>.
The table name is mandatory for the first column only, because all
columns in a spreadsheet must belong to the same table. The table name
is optional if it can be derived from the spreadsheet name.
If the technical names are unknown<(>,<)> it may contain more
descriptive information of the kind of column content. The system
subsequently interprets the content of header lines as comments and not
as data.
&DEPENDENCIES&

MASS_SPSH_IMPORT_LANGUAGE

=

&DEFINITION&
The import language specifies the language of texts in the imported
language<(>,<)> if the language is not part of the data record.
&USE&
It is used for fields where the content is displayed in the user's
language, for example<(>,<)> the
<DS:DE.MEINH>unit of measure</>.

The import expects the values in the external format as you would enter
manually in screen fields<(>,<)> and will convert it to the internal
format.
It is not used to determine the language of texts that are attributes of
the data object.

&DEFINITION&
The text qualifier encapsulates cell values if you cannot avoid the
field delimiter being part of the cell value.
It specifies where the cell value starts and ends. If the cell value
contains the text qualifier, it must be protected by repeating the text
qualifier.
When importing from the clipboard, no text qualifier is proposed by
default. If necessary, specify the text qualifier used within the
clipboard data.
When importing from a text file, a quotation mark (") is proposed as the
text qualifier by default. Change the proposal if you use a different
character as the text qualifier within the data of your file.
The text qualifier must be the first and last character of a cell, if
maintained. Spaces between the cell delimiter and text qualifier are not
allowed.
&USE&
&DEPENDENCIES&
&EXAMPLE&
The text qualifier is a quotation mark ("), and the cell value also
contains this character as part of its original meaning. The cell must
be expressed as follows:
<LS>This text contains a ""text qualifier"" within the cell value.</>
