Hi All,

we need to parse the following flat file structure : 

H - Header ( Occurrence =1 only) 
E - Edit   ( Occurrence =1 or More ) 
D - Delete ( Occurrence =1 only or more ) 
T - Trailer ( Occurrence =1 only) 

E and D records can occur anywhere in between H and T , ex :- 2 E records then 3 D records , 4 E records etc.

All the records(H,E,D,T) has different subfields and each record has some fixed length.

Please suggest how we can parse this flat file .

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I am able to parse the flat file but not with the required output,
lets take Mr.Rajiv’s example, after parsing I am getting the output as:
H, D records are inside the E, E records are inside the D, T.
At this point, I even suspect that there might be a issue with the Schema…
any suggestions…

Hi Rajiv,

      As per my understanding I have created the schema. Have a look on the attachment. Hope it should addtess your needs. 

Thanks,
