Setting the Mapping Options

The Justification option positions text within a record. You can justify the text
to the left or right, or you can center it.

The Case Convert option converts the case of the data to the selected case.
The HPL supports upper, lower, and proper-name conversions. For example,

Default Value
The Default Value option specifies the value that is inserted into the column
when no field is mapped into that column.
Transfer Bytes
The Transfer Bytes option specifies the number of bytes in the record field to
transfer to the database column.
For variable-length format records, this number reflects the maximum size of
the field. The actual number of bytes to transfer is determined by the record
or field delimiters.
