Yes. Here is an example of a fixed width file with three record types - HDR, DTL and TRL - each of which needs to go into a different database file. In this example, those files will be iSeries files, but this will work with any database. Both the Fixed Width file and the Project file are attached.
Fixed Width File – dbod.txt
Code: Select allHDGHeading line Stuff after heading x
DTLDetail line one More detail data more detail data for line one x
DTLDetail line two More detail data more detail data for line two x
DTLDetail line three More detail data more detail data for line three x
TRLTrailer line x
Heading database file DDS
Code: Select all A R DBODHR TEXT('Header Records')
A DATA1 20A COLHDG('Data' 'One')
A DATA2 20A COLHDG('Data' 'Two')
Detail database file DDS
Code: Select all A R DBODDR TEXT('Detail Records')
A DATA1 20A COLHDG('Data' 'One')
A DATA2 20A COLHDG('Data' 'Two')
A DATA3 37A COLHDG('Data' 'Three')
Trailer database file DDS
Code: Select all A R DBODTR TEXT('Trailer Record')
A DATA1 20A COLHDG('Data' 'One')
The project contains two tasks. The first will read the Fixed Width file, and create a rowset. The second task will create a temporary database file (in QTEMP on the iSeries, any other system will require another step to remove the file) from which the records can then be selectively processed.
