Setting Properties for the Flat File Dictionary

You use the Properties view of the flat file dictionary editor to set up the ACL (access control lists) permissions, configure a default record, allow undefined data, and specify floating records for your flat file dictionary.

1. In the Package Navigator, open the flat file dictionary for which you want to set the properties. The flat file dictionary opens in the flat file dictionary editor window.
