"Keys" and "Values" in Change Capture

Hi,

I am comparing 2 files which apparently have the same data. But when I mention a specific column SHIP_TO as a "value" the rows come up as "edited". When I mention the same SHIP_TO as a "Key" the rows show as "COPIES" not "inserts".

If the data in that field does not match it should show as "Inserts" right ?

Why does thi happen , Please Help ...

Can anyone explain me the difference between a "key" and a "Value" in a Change Capture stage ? ( apart from getting the result change code as "insert", "Delete" or "Edit" )

Even the manual can explain the difference between a Key Value column and a Change Value column.
The Key Value column must match before any other comparison will occur.
Change Value columns are the ones that are compared.
