Yeah, It is in flat file processing.

Hi,

in this case there should be a note in the FlatFile Users Guide which explains the difference.

They are just two different ways to enable you to include the delimiter in the data.

For example, let’s say you have a CSV file where your delimiter is a comma (,). How can you then include a comma in the data?

You can do it in one of two ways:

(a) You can use the quoted release character to wrap that entire field, e.g. if my quoted release character is ", my field may appear in the file as:

…,“example of a comma (,) in the data”,…

(b) You can just use the release character, e.g. if my release character is , my field may appear in the file as:

…,example of a comma (,) in the data,…
