I'm wondering how the Fixed-Width Text Format is
Um. Some context would be helpful.
What I know is that the top line in this text format will contain column
names. and each row beneath the top line represent for example a row in a
table etc...
But does fixed-with mean that every column has a fixed with: for example
first column is 10 char wide and second column is 30 char wide?
or does fixed-with mean something else?
I would guess that "fixed-width" means just that: a fixed width. That is,
one that doesn't change.
But, in what context are you asking the question? Where are you seeing
"Fixed-Width Text Format"? How is this used? It's entirely possible that
it means each column has its own fixed-width, or it could mean that all
columns have the same fixed-width. I don't see any way to tell the
difference unless you explain better the context.
I ask as I'm learning MIIS, and now are trying to import a flat file into
MIIS.
What's MIIS? Microsoft Identity Integration Server? That's the top
result on the MSDN search. How does that have anything to do with
fixed-width text formats, table displays etc.?
You will get much better answers if you don't assume we're mind-readers.
