Master data from external file load

Question

I'm loading master data from a flat file.  I would like to load both the attribute and text from the same flat file.  For the attribute my flat file looks like:
USERID,USER NAME
For the text file I need to load the language, so it looks like:
EN,USERID,USER NAME
I tried to load the text file from the attribute file and hard code the 'EN' in the transfer rules.  But it seemed to ignore it and move the User ID into the language field.
I must be missing something.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi!
i think there is some mismatching between your transfer structure and the flat file structure.(i mean sequence of fields)
you can do the following.
1)create a flexible InfoSource which contain Fields
0LANGU,userid,0TXTLG
2) create the TransferStructure with the same field and same sequence.
3)change your InfoObject and assign an InfoArea under master data tab.
4)now you can see 2 InfoProviders in the Pinafore assigned. 1 for attributes and 1 for text
5)create update rules for these 2  InfoProviders  using the InfoSource created above. in attribute Update Rules map 0TXTLG to Username field.
hope it helps
