Substring
This field is used to extract a portion of data from an existing LDD field. An
example of a use of the substring would be to extract the day of the month
from a known format of ‘mm/dd/yyyy’. In which case, you would have a LDD
field defined and the field would contain ‘mm/dd/yyyy’. To extract the day of
the month you would set the Starting Position to 4, Number of Characters to 2
and Horizontal Alignment to Left.

Alternate
This field provides a function of replacing the primary source with the
secondary source only if the primary source is empty. For example, suppose
you have fields defined as RetailPrice (primary) and SalePrice (secondary). If
the RetailPrice were empty (blank), then the SalePrice would used.

substring would be the value in the Starting Position counting from
the right.
