Want to make a tab delimited flat file (dos style). What value has to be used in Sequential file settings in FORMAT -> DELIMITER. I tried 011 but it didnt work. Its server job.
CFF -> Transformer -> Seq. file

Decimal, not Octal so "009". Assuming that's where you were going wrong.

Mate,
In the FORMAT under the Field defaults you will have a property called delimiter. It should have a 'tab' option in the drop down list.
Cheers,

So server jobs cannot have a delimeter tab in sequential file? Please confirm?

No, of course it can. It's just that there's no drop-down select list, you need to (gasp) type in the decimal value or the actual delimiter.

No. Because I was confused about Ray's message.

Which I clarified. His 'not in server jobs' comment was
specific to the mention of a
drop down list which does not exist in Server, not that you can't use a tab delimited file.

009 value works to make tab delimited file.
