Product: Mapping Manager
The @COPY() function allows you to copy only a specific portion of the given input resulting in a substring.
@COPY()
@COPY(TOKEN,START,LENGTH)
TOKEN: Value to copy from
START: Position of TOKEN to begin copying from
LENGTH: How many characters to copy over
Examples
Copy Everything from the 5th character over
Below is an example that shows how you can trim the first 4-characters out by marking the starting position as 5, and then copying 255 characters after (which assumes no field will go beyond 255, resulting in copying all content)
@COPY([T:Special Note],5,255)
255 is an arbitrary number that represents the typical max character length of any EDI Field per X12 standards.
