The sentence “the first row of the file is to contain the first row of data.” I would assume this identifies data as actual records and not the column names? Therefore the “Column names in the first data row” should be left unchecked, no? I’m open to be corrected!
In addition, “Each record is of the same length.” I think this a red herring to get you to pick fixed width format. What’s the consensus on this?
I believe you are correct.
70-463 question that lost his way into this exam dump. Won’t be on the 70-462 exam 😉
This DOES occur on a 70-462 exam!
I agree with Fiachra and Matt.
Not correct, I had this exam question on the exam yesterday
what do you think the correct answer?
Given answer is right.

I thought that the unicode box would be checked? Why would this not be
You are right. ‘The file supports international characters.’ Unicode box should be checked.
Format: Fixed Width
Unicode: Checked
Column names in the firs data rows: if check we get an error, can be checked if Format is “Delimited”
Format: Fixed width
Unicode: checked
Column names in the first date row: unchecked
Agreed….
Tick the “Unicode” checkbox.
Set the Format option to “Fixed Width”
Untick the “Column names in the first data row” checkbox.
Each record is of the same length = Fixed Width.
The file supports international characters = Unicode.
The date follows the U.S. date format = Locale (already configured).
The first row of the file contains the first row of data = Uncheck “Column names in the first data row”
