IBM InfoSphere DataStage - Setting delimiters and separators

IBM InfoSphere Data Replication (IBM InfoSphere DataStage) does not natively allow you to modify:

- the text delimiter (natively, it is the quotation mark)

- the field separators (natively, it is the comma)

- the record separator (natively, it is the carriage return)

The only way to do this is to implement a "java exit" which produces a time overlay which is multiplied by the number of records and becomes too time-consuming.

It would therefore be more than necessary to be able to configure them in the product.

Cordially.
