Delimited files

Post by nike_ravi »

Hi,
Why do we need to provide start and end positions and legth for delimited file in QS.

Generally delimited file dont need positional qualifiers.

I think it's just a hangover from when INTEGRITY was a mainframe application (and didn't support delimited files at all). Later they introduced file format operators (to "translate" delimited files), but the start and end properties just seemed to carry through. Tell IBM.
