Can we extract the delimited text file using sequential file in parallel mode?
I know we can extract fixed width files.If we couldnt extract the delimited file paralley...what constraints doesnt alow to extract parallely.

Thanks

You can. No constraints, although it's slightly more efficient when a fixed-length format is available.

The issue is that, with delimited files, the reader has to approximate the cutoff locations for each Nth of the file, and then scan for the next line terminator. With fixed width this is a simple byte-offset calculation.

Enlightenment lies within, my friend...
