Hi @sjakathi,

Were you able to resolve it? I’m trying to combine 3 different fixed width files in 1 one, any idea on how to accomplish this?

i am also working on a similar file but i do not know what snap to use to get it to file writer. i have tried document binary, fixed formatter but neither produce a populated file.

    Hi @heidi.andrew,

    Good day, you can always put each fixed with formatter in a different pipeline (child pipeline) then from the parent pipeline have a list of all the child pipeline that needs to be executed output view of the pipeline execute needs to be set to binary then link the file writer

    In any case, here’s a pipeline that will stream the content as document then convert back to binary for file writer

    Hope this helps…
