Reading an entire row from sequential file
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 2:27 pm
I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question, since it seems so simple, but here goes...
I'm attempting to read the entire contents of a row from a sequential stage into a single column. The rows within the source file have varying lengths and may contain any ASCII value. I've defined a single column in my sequential file stage, and I've tried specifying a variety of delimiters (including 000), but in each case at least one row in the data appears to contain the delimiter value and throws up a "too many columns in record" error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Peter
