Yes. DataVision can read from character-separated text files. There is no GUI support yet for telling DataVision about the structure of the contents of the text file; see charsep in the User’s Manual for details on how to edit your report XML file to describe the contents of the file. Similar to the way that there are multiple layout engines, there are multiple data sources. Only two are implemented: JDBC databases and character-separated text files.
