The architecture of the PDMS attributes is flexible enough that a new attribute can be added without any restriction of having the attribute as a physical column in the table M_PDMS_SPEC_IDENTS. A provision for the addition of 40 attributes has been provided. A.50.03 attribute mappings are no longer considered during the export of the Specon file.

The PDMS 10.06 GType Configurations screen is used to store GType configurations and GType configuration details.

This screen allows flexible attribute handling. On this screen, you can map the attribute to the physical attribute of table M_PDMS_SPEC_IDENTS. There is a provision for 40 attribute mappings. You can specify the default value for an attribute.

You can control which attribute is to be written to the file by selecting the Header Column? check box.

You can also control whether to prefix the attribute value with Specon the word TEXT by selecting the appropriate option from the drop-down list in the Prefix Text? field. The following options are available:

  • Always - TEXT is always prefixed to the attribute value.

  • Alpha Numeric - TEXT is prefixed only when the attribute value is alphanumeric.

  • Never - TEXT is not prefixed.

You can specify a default value for the attribute in the Default Value field in the Gtype Config Details block of PDMS 10.06. The DEFAULTS section of the Specon file will consider the values specified in this field.

This configuration can then be linked to the GType on the PDMS 10.01 Short Code-GType Mappings screen. The GType will be exported as per the GType Config linked.
