Read Flat File map inputs
You can map a string variable that contains the flat file data to the input parameter of the Read Flat File activity called Data.
About this task
The Encoding input parameter is optional. You are not required to map this input parameter. If the Encoding input parameter is not listed in the To Activity pane of the Map Inputs pane, select from the toolbar menu or right-click the To Activity pane and select the Show Optional Parameters option. If the option is not selectable in the toolbar menu, click a node in the Map Inputs pane to make this option active.
The Encoding input parameter specifies how the incoming data is decoded when read:
Procedure
- If no decoding is required, specify the string: text.
- If decoding is required, specify the encoding type that should be used to decode the incoming data. For example: UTF-8, US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, EBCDIC-XML-US, or SHIFT_JIS.
