Hi Murali!

>complete information(definition and
>details etc) abt this....

This is one of those questions that is very difficult to answer in a few
emails.  Simply, a flat file is a file that is not externally described with
DDS or SQL.  An ICF file is a way to communicate with another system.

Perhaps you could get better answers if you post the business problem you
are trying to work on.
