The UDR File Editor allows you to view and edit the content of UDR files.

The UDR file may be of any format as long as it has an associated decoder. The Open dialog enables decoder selection. Correspondingly, the Save dialog includes a selection of encoders to use.

Since UDRs often contain a large number of fields, it is possible to create a UDR View to select fields and be viewed directly as columns in the UDR list (select UDR View... in the Edit menu). Each UDR can also be opened in a separate dialog where all fields are available.

Note!

The UDR File Editor will by default only support input files up to size 3MB. If the file size exceeds this limit, the UDR File Editor will only read up to 3MB of the file and then stop, showing only the read records.

To support decoding of files larger than 3MB, the Desktop property mz.gui.udreditor.limit must be set for the corresponding Desktop. See Desktop Properties. Setting the property to yes means the 3MB limit applies. Setting the property to no will bypass the limitation mechanism, which may potentially cause out of memory errors in the Desktop.

Several UDR file editors can be used simultaneously, however avoid editing the same UDR from several different editors, since there is no functionality to handle real-time co-authoring.

To open the UDR File Editor, click the Tools button in the upper left part of the Desktop window, and then select UDR File Editor from the menu.
