Editing Table Layouts

You can edit table layouts at any time. You may need to edit a table layout when:

• You want to manually define data
• You want to add or modify data fields or computed fields.
• You want to specify a different numeric output format or a different date input format.
• You want to define overlapping fields.
• You need to modify the table layout to accommodate changes in record length, skip value or shifted field positions.

To edit a table layout, select Edit from the menu and select Table Layout. Analyzer displays the Table Layout Tab. The status bar lists table name and the directory path.
