Dat file? Digital Audio Tape? Something with a .dat extension?
Have you tried to import the metadata from it or have you been given the same? Can you post some sample records?

If it's just a flat file, use the Sequential File stage.

Nah.
Don't need no stinkin' metadata.
The question was "read", not "parse".
I guess we don't want to guess any more. Let's await the original poster's amplification of what, after all, could be an interview question.

Gotcha - read first, ask parsing questions later.

Seriously, though, rameshkm needs to elaborate what is meant by "Dat file", as requested.
