Hello,  
I’d like to unload data into a flat file. Every column with text content has to be wrapped by a text qualifier (e.g. double quotes).  
How can I configure the “DELIMITED\_DATA\_WRITER” component or the “FIXLEN\_DATA\_WRITER” component to fulfill that requirement?  
Regards,  
Carsten

Hello,

if you want change a value, it is better to use Reformat component:

 //#TL function transform(){ $0.FieldX:="\\"" + $RecordName.FieldX + "\\""; } 

You can also use STRUCTURE\_WRITER, this is only one, anoter writers don’t allow it:

\<Node fileURL=“etc.out” id=“STRUCTURE\_WRITER” type=“STRUCTURE\_WRITER” mask=“”$Field2" "/\>
