What if my source tables dont have the same data MatchUp uses to match?
For known datatypes, most types of data you would use to match on with a merge purge application, all you have to do is tell MatchUp what type of data is in a field and the format of that data. MatchUp will extract the relevant data needed to build the matchccode keys. In the example function call below, the developer has specified that the source data mapped to one of the matchcode components contains Full Names, even though his matchcode in another function call states he is matching on last name. MatchUp will extract the last name out of the full name data to build the key. mu.AddMapping(mdMUReadWrite.MatchcodeMapping.
