The Output Format Configuration Data tab enables you to specify the text or characters to be used to describe file data.
What do you want to do?
The Data tab contains the following elements:
Begin of Data: the text or character to be set at the beginning of the file data.
End of Data: the text or character to be set at the end of the file data.
Before each record: the text or character to be set before each record in the file.
After each record: the text or character to be set after each record in the file.
Before each text value: the text or character to be set before each text value in the file. For example, single straight quotation marks, straight quotation marks, an apostrophe and so on.
After each text value: the text or character to be set after each text value in the file. For example, single straight quotation marks, straight quotation marks, an apostrophe and so on.
Before each numeric value: the text or character to be set before each numeric value in the file.
After each numeric value: the text or character to be set after each numeric value in the file.
Data Separator: the text or character to be set as a separator between each data in the file. A separator can be a tab (#9), a comma, a semicolon and so on.
Note: certain characters such as Tab, Enter and so on cannot be entered as text, to do so add the number sign character # in front of the ASCII code.
Examples:
#9 for a Tab
#10 for a Line Feed
#13 for a Carriage Return
#13#10 for a Carriage Return Line Feed
#26 for Ctrl^Z (character used to indicate the end of the file)
and so on.
