Editing a Bulk of UDRs

Other than editing UDRs one at a time, it is also possible to edit a group of UDRs at once. Select the UDRs of interest, or none (this way all UDRs within the file are considered) and click Bulk Edit...

The Bulk Edit file - data dialog

Setting	Description
UDR Type	If you have selected UDRs in the UDR File Editor and opened Bulk Edit, the UDR type of the selected UDRs is displayed in this field. If you want to change to another UDR type, click the Browse... button to open the UDR Internal Format Browser where you can select a different UDR type.
Filter UDRs and assign UDR fields	In this field, you can write custom APL code to edit all selected UDRs.

When bulk editing UDRs, the changes of the UDRs are not traceable. All selected UDRs are updated, although their values may not change.

Auto Edit Mode

This mode allows the editing of bulk of UDRs using matchers and assignments.

This mode is available in Legacy Desktop only.

Add Matcher

A Matcher is added by selecting Add in the Matchers section. The fields are explained in the table below:

Setting	Description

Setting	Description
UDR Field	List of available fields to use as matchers. Depending on the field type, the Matcher Type list updates to display valid choices.
Matcher Type	Defines the check criterion for the field. The content of the list varies depending on the field type. Supported types and some of their possible matchers are: Alphanumeric (string, char) - Contains, Begins With, Matches RegExp, etc. Date - Equals, Before, After etc. Numeric - Not Equals, Greater Than, Less Than etc. Bytearray - Is null, Not null, Length equals, Length not equals, Byte at position equals
Parameter	Some field types can consist of several parts. For instance, date types can contain separate values for year, month, and day. Regular numeric/alphanumeric fields will have Value stated.
Is APL	Indicates the possibility of entering variable values for the validation field via the use of APL code in the Value column. This feature makes it possible to refer to other fields within the same UDR (as well as call to APL functions) during processing. In the image below, the `P155_PackageLength` field is of type `int`. If Is APL is disabled, the Matcher Configuration is interpreted as an `int` instead of a function.
Value	The value of the field. By default, a constant is entered. If Is APL is selected, APL syntax can be used to create a variable definition.
