Multi-page MO:DCA
The Multi-page MO:DCA Batch Output format transfers the entire batch to a
single batch subdirectory. The subdirectory name is the batch name and is
located under the root path specified in the Output tab. All images of each
document in the batch are written to a single multi-page MO:DCA (Mixed
Object Document Content Architecture) file to be used in an IBM ImagePlus
imaging system. The MO:DCA file name is the Capture Software document
number and is padded with leading zeroes to form an eight-character file
name. All files have a “MOD” extension.
A document index file (INDEX.DAT) is also created in the batch subdirectory
and provides the link between the original Capture Software document number
(which is also the name of the multi-page file) and the document index
information (if defined). Select
Setup
in the Application Setup - Output tab to
disable or enable the production of a document index file.
The document index file is a semi-colon (;) delimited file that contains one
record or line for each document in the batch. Each field in a record is
enclosed in double quotes (““). The format is as follows:
[RECORD FORMAT TYPE];[FORMAT VERSION];[DOCUMENT NUMBER];
[# OF IMAGES];[INDEX FIELD 1];[INDEX FIELD 2];...
Record Format Type
Fixed length of four characters. Is always “I04t”.
Format Version
Fixed length of two characters. Initially, is
always “01”.
Document Number
Capture Software document number. Fixed length
of ten characters, zero-filled. Indicates name of
multi-page MO:DCA file.
# of Images
Number of images in the multi-page file.
Fixed length of ten characters, zero-filled.
Index Fields
Index values for the document index fields in
the order they are defined in Index Setup.
If an index field does not have a value, then a
null character is stored in its place.
The following is an example of an INDEX.DAT file for a batch containing
three documents (with four images per document) for an application
configured with three document indexes. The second index field is not
required and is not provided:
“I04t”;”01”;”0000000001”;”0000000004”;”C12345”;;”12201997”
“I04t”;”01”;”0000000002”;”0000000004”;”B23456”;;”11171996”
“I04t”;”01”;”0000000003”;”0000000004”;”H11122”;;”01091998”
