The Import utility allows you to view the contents of your source file. If the file has delimiters, this feature allows you to see what the delimiter characters are. For fixed column files, you can use this feature to check the column lengths and starting positions.
To view the contents of a source file:
SQLWizard displays the Open Source File dialog box.
The contents of your source file are displayed in a scrollable, sizable window. You can view source files of any format. However, this feature is most effective with ASCII files (see note regarding binary files, below).
A ruler is provided so that you can quickly assess the column positions in your source file. Use the cursor keys to navigate through the source file contents.
If you are viewing a binary file, you may find that the viewer stops displaying data before it reaches the end of your file. This will occur if your data contains a null character (00 hex), which to the viewer, signals the end of data.
