Delimited Input

Delimited Input

Relate can read the input file if it contains delimiters. The field delimiter, field separator and record separator can be defined on the console. You can specify either a printable character or an escape sequence such as
\n
or
\x0a
.
The input data must be transformed into IDT layout (or into Input View layout if Input View is also specified).
The record layout is a comma-separated list of the following items:
  • Field length (decimal)
  • R/L justification (optional, L is the default)
  • Filler character preceded by a dash (optional, default is a blank)
The following example defines two fields. The first is 30 bytes using the default justification and filler. The second field is 10 bytes, right justified and filled with 0.
30,10R-0
