iWay Transformer supports a fixed-width document as either input or output. You can create a Fixed-Width Dictionary for either input or output configuration. The procedure in this topic focuses on input configuration, although some steps apply to both input and output.
You will use Dictionary Builder to create the structure for a new Fixed-Width Dictionary, based on the default dictionary. Dictionary Builder will generate an XML file that reflects the graphical representation of the structure that you build.
To create a Fixed-Width Dictionary:
The Create a new Dictionary dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
Tip: You can create a fixed-width output structure the same way. Click New on the Dictionary tab of the Output Properties configuration dialog box. The Create a new Dictionary dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
Tip: For better portability of your Transform project, store all project dependencies in the same folder. The folder is referred to as the Transform workspace. For example, store the structure and input file in the same folder as the .gxp file.
A newly created default dictionary is loaded into the project. You can display or edit it in the Dictionary Builder view, as shown in the following image.
