Hey Inbound threw Application engine is a simple process
take a new file layout from application designer
drag & drop your record into file lay out definition page
go to Preview panel & select segment (your record) name , browse the flat file
go to properties -- use -- File Layout Format check exel format ok
drag your file layout into AE actions ,automatically it generates code. now Run or else use this code
Define a file,array,string,record
Assign values to the above using functions GetFile , CreateArrayRept , text file for string,GetRecord .
Check the file status open using IsOpen ,read the first value of flat file using ReadLine
Push the text into array ,next step split
assign to the record field values Local File &myfile;
Local array of string &myarray;
Local string &text;
Local Record &rec;
&myfile = GetFile("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\office.txt", "r", %FilePath_Absolute);
&myarray = CreateArrayRept("", 0);
&rec = CreateRecord(Record.IN1_TBL);
If &myfile.IsOpen Then
While &myfile.ReadLine(&text);
&myarray.Push(&text);
&myarray = Split(&text, ",");
&rec.IN1_NAME.Value = &myarray [1];
&rec.IN1_LOCATION.Value = &myarray [2];
