Fixed-field Text
With Fixed-field text, input values are obtained
from a text file with one record per line. Each field starts at the
byte immediately following the preceding field; the width of each
field occupies a specified number of bytes. Each row ends with a text
line delimiter.
In Cognos® Transformer, manually add columns to your data source by specifying the position and length, in bytes, of each column in the source file. Accept the default Character set or specify an alternative.
