Specify Fixed Fields

Fixed Field

A field that accepts a pre-set number of characters. It does not require a delimiter after it.

You can make any column a fixed field by entering a number between brackets after the column in your header file. The number determines how long the column will be.

The following is an example of a line with fixed fields.

borrower: name[20] second_id[11] btype[6] action_code[1]
