Fixed-width files
Read and write files where each field sits at a fixed column position.
Planned Sep 2027 (estimate) Connectors
Some older systems and banks exchange files where every field sits at a fixed character position instead of being separated by commas. DataBridge does not read or write that layout today. This item lets a file template describe the positions, so DataBridge can read such files and write them.
Without it you need a separate script to convert fixed-width files to CSV and back.
- Define each field by its start position and length in a file template
- Read fixed-width files and write them
- Padding and alignment settings for each field
- Binary and packed-decimal layouts
- Files that mix header, detail and trailer record types, which we are not promising in the first release
- The window is an estimate. It can move as we learn.
Customers suggest and vote on ideas from their account. Voting also follows an idea, so you get an email when its status changes.
Planned windows are estimates, not dates or commitments. They move as we learn. Votes inform the roadmap. They do not guarantee that we will build a feature.
