- A. Use the External Source stage, running in parallel, to invoke a COBOL program to parse the source file.
- B. Define the output of a Complex Flat File stage as a single column, pass to the Column Import stage running in parallel to parse the output into to multiple columns.
- C. Use the Sequential File stage, setting "Number of Readers Per Node" property greater than one, pass to Split Vector stage running parallel.
- D. Use the Complex Flat File stage, setting the "Read from Multiple Nodes" property.
