One of the files, i am working with, has 7 columns, with names representing a day of the week in date format. The data in these columns is numeric and represents units for each day - similar to the below:
ProductName 7/14/2012 7/16/2012 7/17/2012
Product A 6 5 6

As you see, the 'Date' columns are dynamic and will change based on the specific week, but I will always have 7 columns representing each day in a week, so in Data Migrator flow, I need to capture day1 (field 19 for instance) and day7 and pass the values of these COLUMN NAMES as actual data to Start_date and End_date columns. Please note that I used generic column names (Fieldname1, Fieldname2, Fieldname3..etc) in a synonym, so I can isolate what are the Date values where FiledName1 = 'ProductName'. Is there a way to dynamically manage updating the start/end date columns based on source data? I was loking for some define statement that can be added to the synonym , but could not find anything useful(working).

Could you provide a more complete example of an input file? Do all of the files have just two rows?

Just saw your reply. I did this by creating two synonyms, one for the data rows ANNAR with HEADER=YES, and one for the header line ANNAH with HEADER=NO. Then joined ANNAR to a sub-select:

SELECT
T1. all columns needed...,
T2.START_DATE ,
T2.END_DATE
FROM
(annar T1 LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT
'ALL' AS LOCATION ,
T1.DAY1 AS START_DATE ,
T1.DAY2 AS END_DATE
FROM
annah T1
WHERE
T1.LOCATION = 'Location'
) T2
ON
T1.LOCATION = T2.LOCATION )
