Hi,

If the FCC used in receiver adapter there is no need of key field.

Just use structure Name.

Field separator: fixed length or you required.

End separator: you required

If you dont have a key field, then the only option to read the file and convert it to XML would be in a record row format.

Here each line will go as one field in the XML. You will have to use some logic in your mapping to extract the right field.

but in case your is a receiver File adapter then key fields are not required.

Hi,

Generally Header & Item fields indicates H & I letters. If you don't have that indication little bit cirtical to identify columns. Better to add letters to each header & iteam starting of column so that system will understand easily. After that we can use fixed length mechanism to divide columns.
