Flat file to be used which has NEWLINE entry problem

Post by vivek »

I have a flat file and I am trying to load it into a hashed file. The problem I am facing is due to numerous Enter key strokes or new lines made by the data entry guys, resulting in misplaced columns. How should I go about this issue?



thanks in advance

One possible solution would be to scroll your Sequential File stage's Column tab over to the left so you can see the 'hidden' goodies on the right-hand side. One is 'Contains terminators' and when set to yes for a particular column will allow you to read terminators in that column as data.
