Extract Tool

Validate Extract Template Option (9 of 9)

After you have corrected any discrepancies that VA FileMan might have pointed out while you were creating an EXTRACT template, you can use the Validate Extract Template [DIAX VALIDATE] option to quickly check your EXTRACT template's mapping information. The Validate Extract Template [DIAX VALIDATE] option does not alter anything in your template. Here is a sample dialogue:

Select EXTRACT OPTION: VALIDATE EXTRACT TEMPLATE
Select EXTRACT TEMPLATE: CHANGE EXTRACT       **EXTRACT**
       (AUG 30, 1992)         USER #2  FILE #16000
