Hi
I will be receiving EBCDIC file in BINARY format and multiple record types (Header,Rec1,Rec2,Rec3,Rec4 and Trailer).
So i have question what are all file extensions (Example : .dat, txt ...) the Complex Flat File Stage will accept to read.
Please help me ...

The suffixes are indicative of the contents only. Nothing is enforced by them. Provided you have good metadata, you should be able to read them with Sequential File stage (if the structure is simple enough) or Complex Flat File stage.
EBCDIC is simply another way of encoding characters, as ASCII is.
I'd be a bit more careful with ".bin" suffix, which suggests "binary" data. But it should still be possible to read the data.
