Answer / srinivas

Hi,
If the source is file then the records is separated by
either fixed length or delimiter format. and the symbol of
delimiter means any some special character separate the records
EG:Delimiter
Eid,Ename,Sal
1,aaa,2000
2,bbb,3000

EG:FixedLength
Eid Ename Sal
1 aaa 1000
2 bbb 2000
