Text Wizard - General File Structure (Import)

This screen is part of the Text Wizard.

When you have finished entering data on this screen, click Next to proceed to the next stage.

Field Details:

The following import options are available

Data Type: choose from Delimited or Fixed Width options:

If the Delimited option is selected, the next screen shown in this wizard is the Export Delimiter Details screen. This screen is used to define the character used to separate data items in the external text file.
If the Fixed Width option is selected, the following screen in this wizard is the Export Column Widths screen, used to define how data is separated into columns in the external file.

Data Rows: You can determine the scope of the data import with the following options:

Start at Line: this mandatory property is used to determine at which point onwards in the external file data is to be listed. Use the spin buttons to increment/decrement the value, or enter a value directly into the field.
Stop at Line: if selected, this option allows you to specify a maximum line (in the external) file to limit the data exported. All data after the specified record number will be ignored.
Header Row: if you wish to insert a header row into your external file, containing the descriptions of the data columns found in the selected object's database table, select this option. If clear, no header information will be added.
Quotes for Strings: if alphanumeric information in your external file needs to be contained within standard characters (e.g. single or double quotes), you can select this option and declare the character used to signify string content.
