File Adapter problem for Fixed Length output file

Question

Hi There!,
The following is my sample data format
ABCD 2345 03Accounting Swissland
ABCD 011234 1000Jack Gates 400000 03
ABCD 021234 1001Bill Welch 400000 03
In the first record has dept details:
DummyText, Row identifier(not given in case of dept), Identifier, Deptno, Deptname, Location
The second and third records are emp details:
DummyText,Row identifier, Identifier,EmptNo,Emp Name, Manager, Salary, Deptno.
Notice that the primary key is defined by the first three columns DummyText, Row identifier, Identifier.
When I use Native Format Builder from File Adapter and scan the first three columns I get all three records (i.e dept and both employees). I deleted the second employee and proceeded to finish the configuration. But, the problem I face is that the key value shows as "ABCD% 011234" for both the employee records where as I would like it to show as "ABCD 011234" for the first record and "ABCD 021234" for the second record.
How do I get around this problem?
Moreover if I have a group or recurring records and not just one record recurring. I mean assuming I have the following:
First row: Department
Second row: Employee
Thrid row: Manager
Fourth row: Employee
Fifth row: Manager
How do I get this done?
Does anyone have an idea where to find details of nxsd.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Manoj
Give the FCC parameter as
RecordSet Structure = Header,,Detaillnes,,Detaillines2,*
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Header.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Header.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Header.keyFieldValue = Header
Detaillnes.endSeparator = 'nl'
Detaillnes.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Detaillnes.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Detaillnes.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Detaillnes.keyFieldValue = Detaillnes
Detaillines2.endSeparator = 'nl'
Detaillines2.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Detaillines2.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Detaillines2.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Detaillines2.keyFieldValue = Detaillines2
The keyFieldValue should be the Value which identifies your record either as Header/Detaillines/Detaillnes2.
