Hi - I am fairiy new to TextPipe Pro. We have EBCDIC files we are using TextPipe Pro to convert to tab-delimited ASCII files.

I have a file that has various record types (this is field #4 in the tab delimited file). There are different layouts in the copybook that relate to this record type. Essentially I have one input file, with 4 or 5 record types, that I would like to process into separate files.

What is the best way to filter based on the record type column?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Linda,

Please see the attachment for the general approach.

Essentially you create a restriction - one per record type. Inside this you place the copybook for just that record type, and generally, you output the result to a new file for each record type.
