Complex Flat File - Data read issue with Cobol file Defn

Post by murur »

I try to read FlatFile (DataFormat: EBCIDIC,Record Style : Binary) using Complex Flat File Stage.

Cobol File definition file contain 88 level ....

1. If I manualy remove the 88 level lines in COBOL file definition file, import the definition and using this I am able to READ (view the data using Complex Flat File "View Data") the data file correctly

2. Taken the VALID Cobol file definition file, Import the definition without
REMOVING 88 level lines, I could NOT read (view the data using Complex Flat File "View Data") the data file. In a record, column values are viewed correctly until reach FIRST column which has 88 level. All columns after first 88 level column data are view as JUNK character.......

I WANT TO USE THE COBOL DIFINITION SOURCE FILE AS IS WITHOUT MODIFY THE CONTENT (REMOVE THE 88 LEVEL LINES MANUALLY).


Pl. help.....
