9. Connect tFileInputMSPositional to the car\_owner component with the Row > car\_owner link, and the car\_insurance component with the Row > car\_insurance link.
10. In the Header value column, type in the schema identifier value for the schema, *1* for the schema *car\_owner* and *2* for the schema *car\_insurance* in this case.
11. In the Pattern column, type in the length of each field in the schema, the number of characters, number, etc in each field, *1,8,10,3* for the schema *car\_owner* and *1,10,3,3* for the schema *car\_insurance* in this case.
