Hello,

# Routine to import flat file
#
Set import file name [P_FULL_FILE_NAME]
Switch P_TYPE_CD
Case 'CD'
Prepare for import from file Delimited (commas)
Case 'TD'
Prepare for import from file Delimited (tabs)
Case 'UD'
Prepare for import from file Delimited (user delimiter)
Case 'FX'
Prepare for import from file One field per line
Case 'XML'
End Switch

Import data list-name

Do O_FILE_OPS.$closefile(P_FULL_FILE_NAME) Returns L_ERROR_CD

It has been awhile, but be something similar.
