Setting up the Text PDS configuration file

Before you can use a text file as a data source, you must set up the Text PDS configuration file (textpds.conf) with your text file's format information. With this data definition in the configuration file, Reports Builder can recognize your text file as a valid data source.

For an example of a valid textpds.conf entry, see the chapter "Building a Report with a Text Pluggable Data Source" in the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual, available on the Oracle Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html).
