If you mean column delimiter, then you could try using the pipe '|' character as the delimiter, and ignore the columns with just the decimals. Treat them as marker fields, just ignore them.

Nothing inherent to the Sequential File stage. Off the top of my head, you may be able to leverage the Filter option with perhaps 'tr' or some other command to translate your 'multiple character delimiter' into a single character.
Or go old school and bring in the record as one long string and then use something like Field to bust it up. I'm not saying that the Field command supports multi-character delimiters, I've never had to deal with anything like that, but it would be interesting to investigate the possibility.
Probably best to stick with Ken's approach, it seems the most... straight-forward.

I'd be very interested in your eventual solution. I will be receiving some files that have multiple 32k wide columns separated by a 3 character delimiters.
