in step specify files when ur assigning the file .

there is tab file contents-->click second radio button --> data for multiple source structures .

if u want to insert second file then place the cursor on the first one and go for create , and so on .

Hi Kiran,

U don't always need to use wildcards - if u have 2 files and u know their full names then there's no need for wildcards. It depends on how many source structures u defined in "Maintain Source Structures" step.

If u have 2 source struc. and 2 files (1 file for each source) then it's very simple:

In "Specify Files" step, create the 1st file. Then click on "Legacy Data" again and click create again. Enter the data (name etc.) and confirm. Now u will see 2 files (on both u have to choose "Data for one source structure" radio button). Save and go to the next step "Assign Files": here assign to each source struc. its own file and u're done.

If u have 2 files for 1 source u can simply create a new file and copy both files into it one after the other.

If it's another case describe it so i can answer.

Usually the use of wildcards is done only when u have a long list of files and it's to much work to create them all or a part of the file name is not constant.

Pls reward if helps.
