Specifying a Floating Record
Use the Floating Record property to designate any single record of a given flat file schema to be a floating record. By designating a floating record, you enable that record to appear in any position within a flat file without causing a parsing validation error.
Note: If you do not use this property, validation errors will occur if the record structure of an inbound document does not match the record structure defined in its flat file schema.
* To specify a floating record
1. In the Package Navigator view of Designer, open the flat file schema to which you want to add a floating record.
2. In the Properties view next to Floating Record, click .
3. Enter the name of the existing record that you want to designate as the floating record, then click OK. If a floating record has an alternate name, specify the alternate name in this field. For more information about alternate names, see Record Definition Properties.
4. Save the flat file schema.
