The new Relais Express 4.6 MR1 Load Request application has been updated to look for both a carrige return (0D) and line feed (0A) at the end of each line in the text flat file. All the data elements and field positions in the flat file have remained constant. In the following example, I have placed in the carriage return and line feeds in to show their position, but this is not visible text. Old 4.1 flat file: 000000030A Library1…0A Library2…0A Library3…0A ZZZZZZZZ0A New 4.6 flat file: 000000030D0A Library1…0D0A Library2…0D0A Library3…0D0A ZZZZZZZZ0D0A This new application also requires a slightly modified [Load Request] section in the Relais.ini file as shown in the sample below.
