Create one or more new UDF metadata values in a UDF list field
evaddudfvalues [-f
This command adds one or more values to an existing UDF field list. The display type of the field must be one of:
Values may optionally be embedded within double quote marks. This is mandatory if you want the semi-colon (;) character to appear within the metadata.
The default separator value of a semi-colon (;), can be altered to any other separator, with the -s option.
The -f option allows the input for the values to be derived from a text file.
The format of list values in the text file uses white space as a delimiter between each data dictionary name (the DD_NAME) and the list value (the LIST_VALUE).
You may have one DD_NAME and one LIST_VALUE per line in the text file, or you may have one DD_NAME with more than one LIST_VALUE per line. In this case, each LIST_VALUE is separated by the separator specified with the -s <separator> parameter.
When you use the -f <filename> parameter, you do not need to specify the DD_NAME in the command line.
DD_1 DD_1_LIST_VALUE1
DD_1 DD_1_LIST_VALUE2
DD_2 DD_2_LIST_VALUE1
DD_2 DD_2_LIST_VALUE2
DD_1 DD_1_LIST_VALUE1 DD_2 DD_2_LIST_VALUE1;DD_2_LIST_VALUE2
Load a single value into the UDF named CUSTOMER from the command prompt –

$ evaddudfvalues CUSTOMER Big & Brash Inc.
