FTP Fixed Width Columns

Post by acavarra »

I am unable to FTP (receive) a fixed width file using the FTP stage. The connection works fine. The error I am receiving is

Internal error: 'buffer_to_row' failed.


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

How have you defined the file metadata in the FTP stage?

I was able to fix it by including the display value in the metadata. Thanks.

Exactly, as that is what controls the actual field size. Could you mark your post as Resolved using the button at the top of the page, please?
