How to read file when only half of the columns are optional.
Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2006 6:53 pm
Hi,
I need to read sequential file where in 50% cases file may contain half of the columns. There are some required columns and some are optional. File is comma delimited.
In server version, I was able to do this type of functionality by defining optional column properties. but in parallel version, that property is not avaiable.
I am inclined towards developing server job to solve this, but would like to use parallel jobs if possible.
Thanks,
