.FLT / .DAT as Flat file data source

Hi All,

I am working on Deltek COBOL base database where all the data resdies on the flat-file of .DAT(or we can export data into .FLT files) and I need to fetch that into a SQL Server (Staging)database.

Guys help me out how to achieve this task, any help will be much appriciated.

Thanks,

Attiqe

Here is the sample of how data looks like in .FLT files:
