Sample flat file
A flat file is a text document that contain records without a structured relationship. In Sample Flat File + XML tab the view shows the contents of your selected sample flat file.
Note: Some properties in your flat file definition
structure affect the generated sample flat file.
Use these guidelines:
-
If a field has a specified length, then it is filled with data in the sample.
-
If a field does not have a length, then it gets a data and a separator.
-
A record separator is always written after a record.
-
Each occurrence of a sample record is written three times or, with the minimum number of occurrences you specified.
