Multiple IDOCs from one Flat file

Question

HI Gurus,
Sender file is of such format
Header1,Item1 details
Header1,Item2 Details
Header2, Item1 Details
Header2,item2 Details
Header3, Item1 Details
I need to map this file format to IDOC strucutre, In Header there is a filed which is the Key value to identify the change in header.
Eg: Order Number is the field in the following file which identifies the change in header: First three fields are header details and following are the item details:
ABC,ON1,22,Item1,XX
ABC,ON1,33,Item2,FF
ABC,ON2,44,Item1,MM
ABC,ON3,66,Item1,LL
How would be the Data type strcuture to capture this type of falt file strcuture and FCC parameters?
I need to send a single IDOC per one header with multiple Items. is it possible to achieve?
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Satish,
Do we need to do some configuration  to produce 3 IDOCs from the below strcuture?
ABC,ON1,22,Item1,XX
ABC,ON1,33,Item2,FF
ABC,ON2,44,Item1,MM
ABC,ON3,66,Item1,LL
From the above structure 3 IDOCs should be generated as below:
1st IDOC as
ABC,ON1 (Header Details)
22,Item1,XX (Item1 Details)
33,Item2,FF  (Item2 Details)
2nd IDOC as
ABC,ON2 (Header Details)
44,Item1,MM  (Item1 Details)
and 3rd IDOC as
ABC,ON3 (Header Details)
66,Item1,LL  (Item1 Details)
Do following Data type for the above file structure is valid? or I can use one flat DT?
Record
Header(1..Unbounded)
---F1 (Field 1)
---ON (Key Field Order Number)
Item Details(1..Unbounded)
---F1 (Field1)
---F2
---F3
If the above DT is correct then how would be the FCC parameters?
Thanks
