This tool is used to format the data contained in Data Fields into a meaningful output stream. This is then attached to the job and routed to the next tool. The purpose of this tool is to create a text job object, using whatever formatting or delimiters are necessary to interface with a third-party product.
The tool does not actually output a text file. The Create Text Data tool creates the job object and attaches it to the batch.
This tool is not necessary in your workflow if integrating with another AnyDoc product, such as OCR for AnyDoc or EXCHANGEit.
