Function documentationFlat File Parser Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

This action is used to convert text from Comma Separated Values (CSV) format to an XML document. The output is in standard SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) XML format. You need to load a text file using the Text Loader action and then link that action's string content to the input of the Flat File Parser action. Once the document is in XML format, you can more easily manipulate the data, including loop through each row of the dataset.

For more information about how to convert text with a delimiter other than comma, see Advanced Flat File Parser.
