DSXchange

Thanks for all your input guys it is most appreciated. :!: Thanks for the code Ray, it probably would work (after all its you :wink: ) for what i need - but the focus here was on simple. I was hoping to acheive it using standard stages and not coding. My original thoughts were along the lines of Kim...

Hi again to everybody in DSXchange land, Is it possible to 'filter' which fields are written to a sequential file output based on a list which contains the field names? What I currently have is a job which creates a sequential output containing some 163 fields which is written to a fixed width file....
