Flat File Schema - Repeating Fields

  • 1.  Flat File Schema - Repeating Fields

    Posted Mon April 19, 2004 05:01 PM

    Hi,

    Does webMethods allow for the fields in a record, in a flat file schema to be repetitive. We have the following flat file structure. Can any body please suggest how to go about making a schema for it.

    Delimeters

    1. Record level, say, “;”
    2. Field level, say, “,”
    3. End of repeating field, say, “|”

    What the last delimeter means is that some of the fields may repeat a variable number of times. And the presense of the delimeter 3 would signify the end.

    This a typical flat file sample

    RecordIdentifierField1,Field2,Field2,Field2|Field3,Field4;RecordIdentifierField1,Field2,Field2|Field3,Field4;

    Appreciate your help.
    Vikas.
