Defining Output

The Output tag group identifies parameters for creating one or more output print streams. You must place an Output tag group in the control file to identify each output from an EngageOne™ Enrichment application. The Output group begins with the <OUTPUT> tag and ends with the </OUTPUT> tag. Neither tag has parameters. As the following figure illustrates, you can instruct EngageOne™ Enrichment to break each output into multiple files so that no file exceeds a certain size. You can also specify any number of report files for each output file.

The Output tag group consists of several tags. Two of the most important are:

  • <FILE> The path and file name for the output print stream. Each Output tag group can contain as many <FILE> tags as necessary to identify files to hold the output.
  • <NAME> A unique reference name for the output print stream. You use this reference name to identify the output in other EngageOne™ Enrichment tags. The <NAME> tag value cannot contain spaces. For example, if your output print stream will contain year-end dividend information, you might code the <NAME> tag as follows:

    <NAME> YEAR_END_DIVIDENDS

For complete information on these and other tags in the Output tag group, see the EngageOne™ Enrichment Language Reference Guide.
