Department strings - move field contents

GRCTools manual | Index

Purpose: to move the contents of fields containing only department strings.

Example: 

   Dept. of Linguistics

is parsed and becomes 

   Department of Linguistics

To be parsed, a department string must be on its own in a field. Fields containing any other apparent address information will not be parsed.

Note: as with all GRC ToolsTM processes, this process handles fields in alphabetical order. For parsing it is more accurate to start processing on fields which are most likely to contain the data being searched for. It may be more accurate to run the process twice or more than to parse from all fields in one pass.

image The lookup tables used by GRC ToolsTMfor this process are very large. GRC ToolsTMmay appear to hang for some time at 0% and 100% during processing. This is normal - avoid interrupting the program at these points.

Information required: For each field chosen, GRC ToolsTM needs to know whether the data each field contains is in upper-case or in mixed (upper and lower) case to ensure that the data is correctly replaced.

Specify the field to which the string will be parsed.
