Character used to separate columns of data. Delimiters can be either printable or single-byte unprintable characters, and must be different from the escape character and the quote character (if selected). To enter a single-byte unprintable character, click the Browse button to the right of this field. In the Delimiters dialog box, select an unprintable character from the Insert Delimiter list and click Add. You cannot select unprintable multibyte characters as delimiters.

Select None, Single, or Double. If you select a quote character, the Integration Service does not treat delimiter characters within the quote characters as a delimiter. For example, suppose an output file uses a comma as a delimiter and the Integration Service receives the following row: 342-3849, ‘Smith, Jenna’, ‘Rockville, MD’, 6.

If you select the optional single quote character, the Integration Service ignores the commas within the quotes and writes the row as four fields.

If you do not select the optional single quote, the Integration Service writes six separate fields.

Code page of the delimited file. Select a code page or a variable:

Default is the PowerCenter Client code page.
