The record boundaries on text data are delimited by the record terminator character LF (X'0A'). Select a record format of
Default
for text data files. The file must be mapped only with display fields (such as CHAR, VARCHAR, NUMCHAR, and UZONED) that do not conflict with the record terminator value.
Unlike many Linux and UNIX programs, PowerExchange does not truncate text data records if the data contains embedded binary zero characters. PowerExchange accomplishes this by:
Reading the next record using the fgets() C library function, which returns a record delimited by a record terminator.
Determining the record start and end positions using the ftell() C library function.
