The Write Fixed-width task will write a text file based on the contents of a RowSet variable. That variable can contain data from a database or from another file type like
CSV
, fixed-width, or
XML
.
If you only specify the Input RowSet Variable and Output File attributes, each column's length will be based on the metadata associated to the RowSet. If the RowSet contains numeric data or dates, you may want to Specify Data Options through the
Add
button in the sub-menu to change the format or alignment of the columns. Column elements can be added to specify options for each column written.
