Data Formats

To read fixed-length format files or variable-length format files, you need to prepare data format resources in Data Formats and then define the formats in Designer. In Data Formats, create and prepare a data format as a resource. In Designer, set the details of the created data format resource using the Read Fixed-Length File operation or the Read Variable-Length File operation.

Note

Groups and records of fixed-length format files or variable-length format files can't be set in Data Formats. Set them in Designer.

You can also create a data format resource with the Data Check Condition Definition Settings to verify input data or created formats. Set the details for the Data Check Condition Definition Settings in Data Formats.

To manage data format resources, select > HULFT INTEGRATE > Data Formats in the navigation menu.

Users can specify workspaces in data format resources to share with other users or groups.

For more details about how to use workspaces to share settings, refer to Share settings with team members.
