Supported Versions:
Informatica Developer 9.5.1

Description:
Flat files are one of the popular formats of source data in any data integration or data warehousing projects. More than often, you receive flat files with more information than you actually need. For example, getting header, footer, summary information along with actual data. You may want to omit or separate extra information from the flat file source and process only source records. The mapping sample given here does the same. In the example given here, mapping separates header, footer and records and writes them to three separate target files.
