Hello I am trying to use sort stage to sort data in a fixed width file , I havent specified any delimiter as a fixed width file does not have one.... the job is failing with error

Error in retrieving stage property values
DSTAGE-SORT-0048`:`Invalid value for stage property 'Column Seperator'

Can anyone please help on what I should be specifying the column seperator as??

Are you doing something with the collating sequence map file? The error relates to the structure of that file, not anything about your stream data.

Hi Craig nope done nothing with that ... thought the error was because i did not specify a column seperator in the stage ... cn you please throw some light into the issue you think it to be??

Well, the stage certainly seems to think you are using a map file. What happens if you specify a value (any value) for that property?

Are you current on your fixpacks? Checked with your official support provider? Without access to your job, not sure what else to suggest. Is this your first time using that stage?
