To open the Chop Table Editor from the main menu, click Tools > Design > Chop Table Editor. You can also open the Chop Table Editor from the toolbar. The Chop Table Editor dialog opens with the Open a QKB dialog.
You must first select QKB and Locale. Click the QKB in the left pane then select the Locale on the right side. Click Open. The locale setting is saved from session to session, so you do not need to specify it again unless you need to build a chop table for a different locale.
To create a new chop table. Select File > New. The Select Locale(s) dialog opens. Select the locale and click OK. The New Chop Table dialog opens.
You can now make changes to the Chop Table. By default, when you create a chop table, the Chop Table Editor creates a character name value for every character in the set with Classification set to Letter and Operation set to Use. To obtain usable results, you must edit these default values. For example, for the Space character name, you will most likely want to change the Classification to Full Separator and Operation to Trim. This indicates to DataFlux Data Management Studio that when it encounters a space in a string, it should break the string at the space into separate
tokens and remove ("trim") the space. For more information,
see Character Level Options.
When you are finished making changes, save
your Chop Table, click File > Save. You will be prompted to enter a name for the Chop Table Editor.
