Hi,

What is the structure of Flatfile?

Hi..

Flat file means any file (NOTEPAD, EXCEL ) where the Data is stored in the form of Records.

So it can be based on any Structure.

hi siva.......

flat file is an excel or text document with any structure according to your needs. for example, if you want to laod load a material master....... your flat file must consist of the fields that must be loaded into the database.

Structure of a flat file in the sense,

write the records in the format which holds the values of the fields...

For ex:...

CARRID CONNID FLDATE...

AA 1000 12.23.1992

AH 2000 12.23.1980...

etc...,,

Now go and save the file as either text or excel depending on your requirement....

Regards,

Pavan
