Hi All,

I am very sorry to ask such a basic question.

Can someone give me the exact difference between Record Delimiter and Final Delimiter in setting the Format for the file. When and where to use them respectively.

It seems to be the same for me, but I think there is a difference.

Thanks,

Have you read the Parallel Job Developer's Guide section on that? Sequential File Stage / Input Link Format / Record level section, lovely little picture and all there.

I read it, but still it is not clear.

Could you please elaborate.

Thanks,

Record Delimiter is what goes at the end of the record. Final Delimiter is what (if anything) goes after the final field but before the Record Delimiter. That's my understanding, anywho.

Thanks a lot Chulett for your help.
