So I'm studying code like so:

NoConcatenate Load * inline

[

%CaseKeys,

.....

what does the % do?

It is indication of Unique key field in the Data model.

do you have an article or webpage that goes into detail on this? I'm not finding this to be described online.

I think it does nothing without further action. It will be just part of your field name.

But it's often used to indicate a key field (so it's a nomenclature / user definition).

And if you use

SET HidePrefix = '%';

in script, these fields will be hidden from selection status object and from field selection dialog when disabling 'show system fields'.
