Just a silly question - when I import a sequential file definition, I will point to a sequential file in a directory to do the import.

Afterwards, I can delete the sequential file I used for the file definition, right ?

Once the DataStage Manager has imported the MetaDate, it is no longer depenant on the actual file. However the the data content of the file
(records) will be lost.
