TextConverter Object
TextConverter object has two way communication interface:
It calls your implementation of context methods
You call TextConverter object's methods to control it behavior.
Context Methods are event handler which are called by the TextConverter when a corresponding event occurs.
You should implement context methods to customize different phases of the conversion process, such as the start of the process, processing of an input record, the end of the process, etc.
The Context Methods are:
IsNewRecord - Implement this method to handle an irregular record delimiter
OnFinishProcess - Implement this method if you want to customize the final actions after the conversion process is done
OnRecord - Implement this method for custom calculations of output values, input record analysis, filtering of output records, and other tasks
OnRecordDone - This method is mostly implement to handle custom errors
OnSetUp - Implement this method to safely alter input/output data sources before connections to all data-sources used or referenced are established
OnStartProcess - Implement this method if you want to make any kind of custom preparation for the process
These are a set of methods, including some very useful functions, implemented by the TextConverter object itself and to be called from your script.
Note: This set of methods is specific to TextConverter only and are not available in TARGET Reports or other TARGET applications outside of TextConverter.
