explicit labels
no labels
The field names can be found in different places of the file. If the first record contains the field names,
embedded labels should be used. If there are no field names to be found, no labels should be used. In dif
files, a separate header section with explicit field names is sometimes used. In such a case, explicit labels
should be used. If nothing is specified, embedded labels is assumed, also for dif files.

Header Size
The syntax is:
header isn
header is line
header isnlines
An arbitrary header length can be specified through the header is specifier. A header is a text section not
used by QlikView. The header length can be given in bytes (header is n), or in lines (header is line or
header is n lines). n must be a positive integer, representing the header length. If not specified, header is 0 is
assumed. The header is specifier is only relevant for Table file.

Record Length
Fixed record files only.
record isn
record is line
record isnlines
For fixed record length files, the record length must be specified through the record is specifier. The record
length can be given in bytes (record isn), or in lines (record is line or record isnlines), where n is a positive
integer representing the record length. The record is specifier is only relevant for fix files.

Quotes
Text files only.
no quotes
If Quotation Marks (page 281) are not to be accepted in a text file, the no quotes specifier should be used.
By default, the quotes " " or ' ' can be used, but only if they are the first and last non blank character of a
field value. The no quotes specifier is only relevant for txt files.
msq
msq indicates that modern style quoting is assumed.
