Use Multi Field Separators

Select this check box to set a different field separator for each of the schemas using the Field separator field in the Schemas area.

Schemas

The table gets automatically populated by schemas coming from the various incoming rows connected to tFileOutputMSDelimited. Fill out the dependency between the various schemas:

Parent row: Type in the parent flow name (based on the Row name transferring the data).

Parent key column: Type in the key column of the parent row.

Key column: Type in the key column for the selected row.

Advanced separator (for numbers)

Select this check box to modify the separators used for numbers:

Thousands separator: define separators for thousands.

CSV options

Select this check box to take into account all parameters specific to CSV files, in particular Escape char and Text enclosure parameters.

Create directory if not exists

This check box is selected by default. It creates the directory that holds the output delimited file, if it does not already exist.

Don't generate empty file

Select this check box if you do not want to generate empty files.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl+Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.
