Usage Notes

This function is used to specify conditions about where to search for information. In addition, it enables you to specify conditions about the format in which the retrieved information is presented. If retrieved information is appropriately formatted, it can be used as a template in the LoginScope function.

The required Vendor Codes are stored in a VendorCodes folder in your system. Without the correct Vendor Code, the function call cannot succeed.
