Answer / datastage4you

Whenever there is any header and footer with file, those must identifiable like First line will be header or last line will be footer or by some column info (row type)

so if data follows first criteria, use unix or datastage head and tail to extract those

Answer / subhash

Header: is nothing but Column names/Structure of the table
trailer: is something like FOOTER of the page/file

if file has Header, while reading the file set 'TRUE' for
'First Line is Column names'--

If set true, the first line of a file contains column names on
writing and is ignored on reading.
