FORMATTING DATA FROM MAINFRAMES

Good Day. At times I get files from Mainframes that I process in Alteryx.

 

The raw output is in "00-ACTUAL-DATA.txt"

The data needs to be processed as in 01-EXPECTED-DATA.txt before we get the final output as in "02-EXPECTED-FINAL DATA.txt"

 

Once data in in "02-EXPECTED-FINAL DATA.txt" format, I can process it into excel/some DB

Hi @chinu267 ,

 

can I ask, why would you do anything in Excel? What is the final format you want in Excel?

The final output needed is 02-EXPECTED-FINAL DATA. Only thing here we need is split the fixed width data into different columns

I am also not quite sure what I am doing is corect or not.
Just read the text one row each, the apped the data row having 'OUT '.
