TABLE

This action translates the source values according to the specified translation lookup table. This action accepts a single input value and produces a single output value.

Use the Lookup Table Configurator to configure the lookup tables used to convert message data. Lookup tables perform code translations within one or more translation configurations.

If the table is bi-directional, then you can specify which side of the table is used in looking up the input values.

A Lookup Table is called up within a translation configuration and used in the Table action for a specific field.

When using a Lookup Table, you must know the name of the table to use. You must also know which side of the bi-directional table to use for the input values.

For Table, click the arrow to select the table file from the menu.

For Side, click the arrow to select Input or Output.

Note: All tables must have the .tbl extension to be viewed in the Site Manager and lists within Translation Configurator. If these tables are created from within the GUI, then they already have the .tbl extension. Sites that are brought forward from previous versions that do not use the .tbl extension must have the table files renamed with the .tbl extension. The references must also be updated in the translation that uses the table.

Open Lookup Table

When editing a TABLE action in an xlate, you can select Open Lookup Table to open the lookup table.

This is also on the right-click menu in the action panel and Edit menu.

This option is disabled when the Table is empty.
