Sample code to read a file using file layouts and to insert data read into a record.

Local File &MYFILE;
Local Record &REC;
Local array of string &ARRAY;
Local string &FILE_DIRECTORY, &FileName;

&FileName = "MY_FILE_NAME.txt";
&FILE_DIRTORY = "/MYDIRECTORY/"
/*open file for reading*/
&MYFILE = GetFile(&FILE_DIRECTORY &FileName, "R", %FilePath_Absolute);
/*create record object*/
&REC = CreateRecord(Record.MY_RECORD);
&ARRAY = CreateArrayRept("", 0);
/*check if file is open*/
If &MYFILE.IsOpen Then
/*The SetFileLayout method is a file layout method. It associates a specific file layout definition with the file object executing this method, providing easy access to rowset data.(PeopleBooks)*/
If &MYFILE.SetFileLayout(FileLayout.FILE_LAYOUT_NAME) Then
/*read line into &STRING*/
While &MYFILE.ReadLine(&STRING);
&ARRAY = Split(&STRING, ",");
For &I = 1 To &REC.FieldCount
&REC.GetField(&I).Value = RTrim(LTrim(&ARRAY [&I]));
End-For;
/* do additional processing here for converting values */
&REC.Insert();
/*count rows inserted into record*/
&COUNT = &COUNT + 1;
End-While;
Else
/* do error processing - filelayout not correct */
End-If;
Else
/* do error processing - file not open */
End-If;
