Read Fixed-width Task

The Read Fixed-width task allows you to specify file and variable parameters for translating a fixed-width file into a RowSet variable.

Field	Definition
Basic Tab
Label	Specify a label for this task.
Input File	Specify the path and file name of a single file to read the data from.
Input Files Variable	Specify the name of a variable of type File List which contains the files to read the data from. For example, ${variableName}.
Output RowSet Variable	Specify the name of a variable which will contain the data read from the specified input file(s). The variable will be of type RowSet and may be used in subsequent tasks that accept a RowSet input variable. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
Advanced Tab
Skip Invalid Records	Specify whether or not to ignore invalid records and continue on. The default is false, which will signal a error when invalid data is encountered. Default Value: false
Skip First Row	Specify whether or not to skip the first row of the input file(s). If the input file(s) contain header information in the first row, set this value to 'true'. Default Value: true
Record Delimiter	Specify the character or sequence of characters that are used to separate each record in the input file(s). The default record delimiter is CRLF (carriage return immediately followed by line feed). Default Value: CRLF
Encoding	Specify the character encoding of the input file(s). The default value is same as the platform's default file encoding. Default Value: The platform's default file encoding.
Output Variables Tab
Processed Input Files Variable	If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the processed input files. The variable will be of type File List and may be used in subsequent tasks that accept a File List input variable. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
Control Tab
Version	The version of this task.
Log Level	Specify the level of logging to use while executing this task. Valid options are - silent, normal, verbose and debug. Default Value: Inherited from parent Module
Execute Only If	Specify a condition that must be satisfied before this task can be executed. This task will be skipped if the specified condition is not met.
Disabled	Whether or not this task is disabled. Default Value: false
On Error Tab
On Error	Specify the action to take when this task errors out. Valid options are - abort, continue, call:[module] and setVariable:[name]=[value]. For call:[module] replace [module] with the name of the module in the project (e.g. call:ErrorModule). For setVariable:[name]=[value] replace [name] with a variable name and [value] with the variable value (e.g. setVariable:error=true). Default Value: Inherited from parent Module
