thanks in advance.

Hi Ramanjaneyulu,

can you specify, where you have met this setting?

FlatFile Handling?

Yeah, It is in flat file processing.

Thanks,
Ram.

Hi,

in this case there should be a note in the FlatFile Users Guide which explains the difference.

Thanks for your quick reply…
I have gone through that previously, need more clarity on this with an example.

Thanks,
Ram.

They are just two different ways to enable you to include the delimiter in the data.

For example, let’s say you have a CSV file where your delimiter is a comma (,). How can you then include a comma in the data?

You can do it in one of two ways:

(a) You can use the quoted release character to wrap that entire field, e.g. if my quoted release character is ", my field may appear in the file as:

…,“example of a comma (,) in the data”,…

(b) You can just use the release character, e.g. if my release character is , my field may appear in the file as:

…,example of a comma (,) in the data,…
