If you have a FM layout that looks like this:
========== ========== ==========
| Field1 | | Field2 | | Field3 |
========== ========== ==========
| |
==========
| |
==========
Where Field1 and Field3 are normal fields, and Field2 is a repeating field,
your text file must look like this:
Data1<tab>Data2a<gs>Data2b<gs>Data2c<tab>Data3
<gs> is called a "group separator. It's ascii value (decimal) is 29. I don't
know how you can create this format from Excel.
