Hello Every one,
I am new to Datastage, and started learning. In my first exercise, i try to load the excel file data, just with three columns in to another excel file as my target. i am using transformer in between two sequential stages, with direct linking from source(DsLink2) to target (DsLink4). When i compile and run the job, 0 records are displaying in my target. Before that , i right clik on my source, view DsLink2 data, its showing errors,
ldTest..SeqSrcTest.DSLink2: read_delimited() - row 1, too many columns in record
ldTest..SeqSrcTest.DSLink2: read_delimited() - row 2, column Business_Owner, required column missing

Everyone here needs help of one kind or another. Next time you might want to pick a subject line more appropriate for the problem you are having. 
That being said, the metadata you are using in the source stage doesn't match your actual file. I'm assuming here that you have saved your spreadsheet to a csv or some other form of delimited file and then moved it to the Unix server. Check the file from from the o/s (using something like vi) and verify that it looks like you are expecting - three fields per record, commas between each field with no extra columns or commas. Sounds like your very first record has more than three fields in it - i.e. more than two commas.
It is very typical for extra columns or rows to come along for the ride when saving a spreadsheet to some other output format. You may need to clean it up before saving it, by deleting any extra columns on the right or extra rows at the end.

Hi,
Having to many columns in record when working with excell workbooks couls also mean you'r missing the printing limits for columns (might also be for lines).
once you have them set you should be ok concenning that.
IHTH,

Try with simple things such as 1 or 2 column first. This will give you a feel and idea of how it works and then you can build on it.
The common errors can be something like European currency delimiter of comma appearing in excel spreadsheet with your other comma delimiters. Also any description / text value having a comma.
