CFF stage

I have FTP'd a file from an os/390 mainframe to Data Stage and am using the CFF stage to get the data that I need from the file. The data is not correct. I am getting unpacked spaces in multiple locations on the file depending on the record. I am FTP'ing the file as binary and putting it into a sequential stage and using CFF stage to read this file. I have tried to FTP the file as having no termination as well as it being a dos termination. I am unsure what I need to do to make this scenario work. Can someone help?

How was the file produced? Can you import column definitions for the text file either from a COBOL file definition or a DCLGen description? This should tell you what *should* be in the text file, from which you should be able to Load the metadata directly into the CFF stage to process that data file.
