Hi,
merging two files ,should i need to specify all columns of files in merge stage.if not specify its showing error after running.

example
file1:
c1|c2|c3|c4|c5|c6
file2:
d1|d2|d3|d4

outputfile:
c1|c2|c3|c4|d1|d2|d3|d4


at merge stage level for first file i didnt specified c5 and c6 at column definition level.if i run job the job got aborting.

at merge level in server jobs should we need to keep all columns if not necessary to next stage also.

thanks

Any time you're working with a sequential file - and this includes the Merge stage - you must mention the entire structure. The term "sequential" implies that you have to read past every byte in the file to get to the next one.
