in the delimiter space, type as following.

press 'ALT' and type 253
release alt.

this is the way you type ASCII characters. run the job after this.

Actually, just type the '253'... no alt required. :wink:

What errors do you get?


Give an example of how your flat file looks.

This is true.

Like Craig said you dont need to press ALT, you can just enter 253

But if you want to go the "ALT" way then use ASCII 0253

Hi all,
for information if you have trouble to use a special delimiter or quote character to read a Sequential file, you can use a schema file and the import column

Exemple : if you use double quote for the quote, you can use ASCII value

record
{final_delim=end, delim='|', quote="\0"}
(
INV_ID:string[max=20];
VEH_ID_NBR:string[max=17];
...
