Can you elaborate more on your query what ever you are trying to do?
Are you trying to generate flatfile documentType using flatfileSchema?

No,Actually using flatfile dictionary we can create flatfileSchema this is the standard behaviour by referrencing the dictionary/fields.

Hi sarita,
generally we create a flat file dictionary and create schema from it by referencing it. What do you exactly mean by flat file definition. i didn’t get it. can you elaborate?

Have a look at these 2 services:
pub.flatFile.generate:getFFDictionaryAsXML
pub.flatFile.generate:saveXMLAsFFDictionary

You can try saving the schema as xml and creating the Dictionary xml from it and then using the get service to read it.

Worth a try if you absolutely need to do this.
