I have a comma delimited file that I want to read using WebFOCUS (5.3.3). The output is 6000 bytes long and these are broken into 1274 fields. Currently working on getting a master file description created to read the file. Are there any size constraints that could cause problems?

Hi Sheila,

Per the online documents, the maximum file size for a COMMA delimited file is 256KB. The following topics from Information Builders' online documents may be of interest as well:
