Would you mind sharing sample of your files?

Load your text file with option 'none' for labels, this will create a load like

Table:

LOAD @1,

     @2,

     @3,

     @4,

     @5,

     @6,

     @7,

     @8,

     @9,

     @10,

     @11

FROM

(txt, utf8, no labels, delimiter is ',', msq);

Do the similar for the header file, using an additional RecNo() as ID and a CROSSTABLE LOAD prefix, something like

CROSS:
CROSSTABLE (Header, FieldName)

LOAD Recno() as ID,

     @1,

     @2,

     @3,

     @4,

     @5,

     @6,

     @7,

     @8,

     @9,

     @10,

     @11

FROM

(txt, utf8, no labels, delimiter is ',', msq)

;

Then create a MAP:

MAP:

MAPPING

LOAD Header, FieldName

RESIDENT CROSS;

And then rename your original fields:

RENAME FIELDS USING MAP;

Please check if fits your needs:

header:

LOAD *

FROM

[Header.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

set str='';

For i = 1 to NoOfFields('header')

  let str = str & ',@' & i & ' as ' & FieldName(i,'header');

next

let str=mid(str,2);

LOAD $(str)

FROM

[transdata.txt]

(txt, codepage is 1252, no labels, delimiter is '\t', msq);
