Dynamic PREPARSE Option

In panel lines with more than one preparse character or field character, the effect of substituting variable data within the line might cause the final text of the line to be longer or shorter than the original text. In this case, fields that follow the substituted data move to the left or right of their original column.

Shifting preparse or field characters to accommodate differing substituted data lengths is the system default, and is called dynamic preparsing.
