Developing a Control File
A control file defines an application's input, output, and global actions (actions that you take on every document). It defines the overall print stream processing environment. Each Enrichment application requires one control file.
Key options configured in the control file include:
- Input file characteristics (such as type, field locations, and page and document break indicators)
- Rule file characteristics
- Added object size, content, and placement
- Information to control addition of pages
- Parameters for CASS Certified™ address cleansing
- Parameters for postal Presort processing
- Control information (such as supplemental data files, rule files, and inserts)
- Output file characteristics (such as name, separation requirements, and convenience break parameters)
- Performance options
