I have worked on generation of a flat file from xml using
XSL. I have used select:value-of for the data and xsl:text
to put the commas in the flat file.
Could some body let me know if the flat file can be generated
as a fixed field length file and
the necessary options xsl has.
It can, but you need to do more work. Write a template like:
<xsl:template name="pad">
<xsl:param name="value"/>
<xsl:param name="size"/>
<xsl:variable name="spaces"
select="' '"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(concat($value, $spaces), 1, $size)"/>
</xsl:template>
