Hi,

I am trying to read from a flat file without any field delimiter.I am trying to read an 2 digit integer field (00 to 99).I am unable to get this field in the sequential file stage.When i click on view data I get garbled data which is 5 or 6 digit long.How can i read 2 digit integer without using delimiter?
Thanks for your help.

Set the Display width in the columns grid to the actual width of the column. (You ought to have done this during the import of Sequential File metadata.)
Make sure, too, that the file format is marked as fixed-width rather than delimited.
