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.
