Hi,
I need to output a positional flat file.
Each record in the file is 230 Characters in length.
I require the output to start a new line at position 75 of every record.

Does anyone know how i can achieve this?

Mangi.

Your output positional record can be two fields. The first is an empty field
padded with blanks. You can set the pad character to a "blank". The second
field begins at position 75 and contains your data.

There is data up to position 75, effectively what i want to achieve is to
have a carriage return after position 75 and let the rest of the data from
position 76 to 230, continue on a new line.

You should be able to map this into a delimited flat-file with two different
positional records each separated by CRLF. If you can attach your inbound
schema and an instance document I'd be happy to take a look.
