Hi,

Can anyone tell me whether the DS file can handle the variable record cobol file. I am trying to do that the variable option but it's asking for default values for every column I have more than 1000 columns to default it. Is there any easy way to do that?

Thanks for yor help in advance.

Sv.

What stage type are you using? Have you imported the COBOL FD into the DataStage Repository? If so, please select the Layout tab in the table definition and post the record schema reported there.
