Delimited records
Delimited records are records whose fields can vary in
length. In a data file that contains delimited records, the records
and fields are separated by a delimiter.
Other formats
In addition to delimited, fixed, and COBOL formats, the High-Performance Loader (HPL) provides two other
formats for loading and unloading data: fast format and fast job.
These formats are not included on the Record Formats window
because the format specifications are predefined; you do not need
to make any choices.
Format options
The format options let you change the default driver, the
character set, the default computer type, and the delimiters. Information
about the format options is stored in the formats table of
the onpload database.
Format Views window
You can display a list of the formats and load and unload
maps that are associated with a project from the Format
Views window. You can also create or edit a format.
