Hi, I am trying to generate a flat file with fixed position fields that all end with a ‘:’. I setup a flat file dictionary and flat file schema. When I define the fields as fixed position and specify a field delimiter in the flat file schema, the field delimiter does not appear in the string generated by the convertToString service. Is there a way to do this.

From my testing so far it appears that convertToString will only include the delimiters for nth field fields.

“From my testing so far it appears that convertToString will only include the delimiters for nth field fields” – true…

For Fixed positions-no delimiter applies…

HTH,

yeah i guess …for fixed position flat file u can not use delimeters becouse every record and every field in the record has a fixed value specified.
but u can use delimeter for end of the record for fixed flat files.
