• Key Concepts: 
  Parsed value is a term used in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS). It is a feature that allows users to parse data from a single field into multiple fields. This is useful for data that contains multiple pieces of information, such as an address field that contains both the street address and the city. Parsed value allows users to separate this data into two distinct fields. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use parsed value, users must first identify the field they want to parse. Then, they must define the delimiter that will be used to separate the data. This can be a character, such as a comma or a space, or it can be a set of characters, such as “street” or “city”. Once the delimiter is defined, the user can then specify which fields should be created from the parsed data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using parsed value, it is important to make sure that the delimiter is unique and does not appear in any other part of the data. For example, if you are parsing an address field and you use a comma as the delimiter, make sure that there are no other commas in the address field. Otherwise, it could lead to incorrect results. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Parsed value is similar to another feature in SAP Information Steward called “split value”. Split value allows users to split a single field into multiple fields based on a specific number of characters. For example, if you have an address field that contains both the street address and city, you can use split value to split it into two fields based on the number of characters in each part of the address.
