Default Record Properties
In the Properties view, under Default Record, you can specify basic information bout the default record for a flat file schema.
Property
Description
Set
Click to browse to and select the default record for this flat file schema from a flat file dictionary. This record is used to parse an undefined data record when thepub.flatFile.convertToValues service fails to find a match between the flat file and the flat file schema.
If a default record is specified when creating the flat file schema, any record that cannot be recognized will be parsed using this default record. If a default record is not selected, the record will be treated as undefined data.
If the Undefined data property is set to False and the validate variable of the pub.flatFile.convertToValues service is set to true, the pub.flatFile.convertToValues service will generate errors when it encounters undefined data.
Note:
If the flat file you are parsing does not contain record identifiers, you must select a default record. By selecting a default record, a CSV (comma separated values) file can be parsed as a special case of record with no record identifier, but with fixed field and record delimiters.
Delete
Click delete the default record for this flat file schema. The actual record definition still exists, but is no longer assigned to this flat file schema.
