All Im need to concatenate my log_date and log_time field (the 2 physical records into one logical record). I can find how to do it with a fixed length file but my case is a delimited file. Looking at the docs, it seems the continueif is used for delimited dtaa, I cant seem to get the syntax to work
any ideas would be welcome ;-) thanks!
