CFF Help - Redefined Field in the Selection Criteria
Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2004 4:05 pm
Hi All:
I am reading a variable length file with the CFF stage. Each time the file comes from the middleware it has different number of records.
Now in the CFF Stage-->Output tab-->Selection Criteria tab are given 2 options -
1. Start Record #......End Record #
2. Redefined Fields--> ID Field....Value
My questions are -
1. Is it necessary to give one of the selection criteria.
2. How do I make the stage read all the records to the end of file with/without giving End Record #.
3. What are Redefined fields and how do they affect the selection of records to be read.
All/Any inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thank You All.
