      I have an inbound FRL, that uses multiple lines per record. i need to combine the 7 lines into a single line so that it can be read like a normal, in line FRL.

      Each record will start with a static value like “REC1”.

      REC1 some data

          Have you given any thought to defining the file as an HRL with repeating FRL where the first field is equal to ‘REC1’?

          I have done that with VRL and I don’t see why it could not work with FRL.

            Hey Jim, thanks for the post.

            I’m not sure I follow you. I do see how to repeat an FRL in an HRL. Only the first line starts with “REC1” the next seven lines after it, don’t start with REC1 and each line has a different layout.

              Dustin,

              OK I did not understand the whole situation I guess.

              I thought all of the detail records started with REC1 – are you saying the actual record is physically broken into multiples?

                Correct, each record is broken into multiple lines: Here is a sample. I anomized some data for HIPAA.

                Where stringrange 0 3 = REC1 is beginning of a new record.

                Note below there are two layouts. Apparently there is a value at position 14-20 that indicates which layout is being used. I dont have all the details on that yet but I figure if I could just turn this into a single line record, that would be a good start…
