- US-ASCII
- Windows-1252
Click to fetch the Record Paths then select one.
Set the Array Handling setting to control how the data table will be created and to accommodate the array of values. Can be any of the following:
- Add Rows (default) - one row will be created for each value in the array
- Add Columns - one column will be created for each value in the array
- Concatenate - one column will be created for all values in the array, concatenated with a delimiter character

of columns with the data type found from inspecting the first ‘n’ rows of the input data source.
