Hi Shiva,

I have source as BW table and the target should be a binary file.means the target data should be in binary form.

Can we achieve that using BODS?

Hi Ancy,

I am not sure if it could done through BODS but you can create an .exe program in C Programming language and call it through BODS script and create binary file.

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for the response..

But my working OS is windows.

Do we have a batch script/command to convert text file to binary?

Thanks,

Hi Ancy,

Window means, can't you install C programming software.

Not sure about the batch script/Command

Ancy,

There is no native functions to do that. You have to write a custom function. Whats there in the source? Is it like 1 and 0? What do you want in the target?
