[SOLVED] One time delimiter extract load

Hi all,

I have an huge extract which is pipe delimiter "|" and want to load in one phase without any table out like the following:

Extract.txt
abcd12345678|20130524|20008
abcd12345670|20130524|20007
abcd12345679|20130524|20009


extract.mas

FILE=EXT, SUFFIX=DFIX, $
SEGNAME=EXT, SEGTYPE=S0, $
FIELD=ID, ID, A40, A40, MISSING=OFF, $
FIELD=SDATE, SDATE, A8YYMD, A8, MISSING=OFF, $
FIELD=SPRICE, SPRICE, P20.2, P10, MISSING=ON, $


Extract.acx

SEGMAME=EXT, DELIMITER=|, HEADER=NO, $


Extract.fex

FILEDEF EXTRACT DISK &WORDIR|\extract.txt

MODIFY FILE MYTABLE
FIXFORM FROM EXTRACT
 SQL SET LOADONLY
DATA ON EXTRACT
END


the above code is running successfully and inserting all data to SQL table, but loading all dat into first field like the following:

ID
---------------------------
abcd12345678|20130524|20008
abcd12345670|20130524|20007
abcd12345679|20130524|20009

the SDATE and SPRICE Fields are empty.

It looks like that ignoring the DELIMITER and thinking as fix format.

Please help me.

As far as I am aware, FIXFORM reads FIXFORM, not DFIX. You can read the whole line in and use GETTOK to get the separate field components.

Or, if you can use MAINTAIN, that will read the DFIX file correctly.

However, performance is everything. You say huge. How big is huge, how many rows of data?

Is the length of your ID field specified correctly? You have it as 40 which seems to be the whole record and not just the ID part.

Of course you can also specify the length of each field in your fixform.

A thought...

and, the format of the 3rd field is listed as P, and i think that might not work, i think that needs to be A ; P might expect binary

Place the delimiter line in the master and not in the Acx file
And do the same with the location of the file, so you do not need to use a filedef

FRA,

In your example, the fields shown have fixed length. If this is the case then you can write your FIXFORM as follows:
  
FIXFORM ID/A12 X1 SDATE/A8YYMD X1 SPRICE/A5

If not go with Alan's suggestion and use GETTOK:
  
COMPUTE INPUT/An=;
FIXFORM INPUT/An
COMPUTE
ID/Ai=GETTOK(INPUT, n, 1, '|', i, 'Ai');
SDATE/A8YYMD=GETTOK(INPUT, n, 2, '|', 8, 'A8');
...

Where 'n' is the length of your input string and 'i' is the length of field ID. You will need similar statements for the rest of your fields.
