WRITETIME	64	Write Time (must have SetWriteTimeFormat defined)

These fields can be set via:

SetLiteral: Sets a literal value, used when the field value remains constant throughout the Sync process.
Extract: Used to extract the data for the field from the input source.
Translate: Used to set the field to another value based on the extracted value.
Translate2: Used to set the field to another value based of comparing a second extracted field to a set value.

Addition Sync Fields

Addition Sync fields that can be used to extract data into for comparison when using Translation statements. These are not fields that can be set directly in TapeTrack.

An example of this would be if User1 = legal_hold then set Repository to HOLD.
