FTP - Mismatch in number of column between data and link

[Sathish]

I have problem using FTP stage to read data from Mainframe and write into sequential file.
When I execute the FTP job it gives the following message
"Mismatch in number of column between data and link"
This is a warning message for each record it processed, but it actually writes the data into the sequential file. I checked the sequential output file and it looks good. Also Metadata looks good to me.

Please suggest

Thanks

Please check the record delimiter and trailing blanks on both systems. Also check the 'Incomplete Column' attribute value in the resulting FTP-ed file in DataStage.

Also check the length of the individual columns in the actual file and as defined in the column definition.
