Amit,

it is a lot of work to put together a documented case of using a CFF with an example of copybooks and stages and that is really not the scope of this forum. The CFF hails from COBOL type data layouts and is most often used in that context, but can be used with other types of data.

Let me ask you the question the other way around:

After you have read all 28 pages of chapter 10 in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide which documents the reasons for using the Complex Flat File stage as well as cites some examples of layouts and even details how to use all facets of this stage, what questions do you have left to ask in this forum?
