Description
This sets the method for specifying the field to process text files.
The floating field is specified in the field number in which the position of the field is delimited with the field separation characters. Because the position of the field depends on a position of the field separation character, the position of the field (column position) is different in each record. The field separation characters can be specified in the FieldDelimiter property.
For the fixed field, the position of the field is specified in the column position from the head of the record.
When this specification is omitted, the position of the field is specified in the floating field.
