Output fields

Information about output fields:

  • position: Position of output fields.
  • field name: Names of output fields.
  • type: Field type. If type is set to DATE, TIME, or TIMESTAMP, you must specify a time format. If type is set to other values, the time format is invalid. The example time format is yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.
  • length: Field value length. If the actual field value is excessively long, the value is cut based on the configured length. When type is set to CHAR, spaces are added to the field value for supplement if the actual field value length is less than the configured length. When type is set to VARCHAR, no space is added to the field value for supplement if the actual field value length is less than the configured length.
