unable to read file exported from Cobol

[ali_hijazi]

Dear

I have a file exported from Cobol (delimited by ';')

QlikView is unable to read it because this file always contains an empty line then the column names start at line 2

However if I open it in excel I have the option select from which line to start reading; so I choose line 2 then QlikView is able to read the generated excel file

How can I force QlikView to start reading from line 2?

I don't want to open the file from excel then .....

Please advise

Oh I just found the solution!!!!

in the TableFiles pop-up choose under the Header Size the option Lines and then select 1 in the input to the right

this is similar to the option in excel to start reading from a specific line
