If you use oracle as source, then use a NVL function to conver the null values to something else, or i think you can use NullToEmpty or NullToValue function in the transformer.

When you create a file you deliberately specify a delimeter (may be a pipe symbol, or some other) and use the same delimiter in the job that read the file. Some times the data source might have the defaut delimiter that you use, and this might cause some problem, For example if the source data has a...

I think you have a input column that is not defined in the output or out put column that not defined in the input, I would try to check the meta data, or try to check the properties in the look up stage for reject.
