Wasn't sure what "load" meant here - read it and load the results into another source, like a database or did you mean write / create a file in this format?
Regardless, I don't see why not. Not going to be quite as straightforward as a 'normal' file but should be perfectly do-able. What kind of processing do you need to do? Are there only certain record types you need? Since you mentioned 'image' data, will the file contain any LOB fields, encoded images or anything funky like that?

Are these "image" fields binary? That may cause some issues. Also, what are the numbers? If these are COBOL-style level numbers, you have an ugly structure with which to deal, though DataStage can manage it.
