Example 1: Extract Report Data and Populate the Index Value with the Respective INDEX

This example extracts index values that are located after the characters "COST:" on each page of the PDF document. The maximum length of an index value is 20 characters.

INDEX=(BANKCOST,*,EQ,*+6,L(20),SE,COST:)

The fields on the index statement are as follows:

• BANKCOST—Names the index
• *—Indicates that the entire page is to be searched
• EQ—The search is for a specific string (that is, "COST:")
• *+6—The index value is located 6 characters after the search string "COST:"
• L(20)—The maximum length of the index value --20 characters
• SE—The index value ends at the first blank
• COST:—The string to search for

For example if the report data "COST: $200.56 ", the index value would be $200.56 for the index name BANKCOST.
