Hi,

Does your file have a separator character?

if it doesn't check the sizes of the columns that you are passing to DS.

they must match the size of the file.

Hope it helps

Check your input file outside of DataStage e.g. in Wordpad. My guess is that you will see that some of the columns will contain the delimiter itself which will confuse DataStage.

E.g. if your delimiter is a ',' and some column contains a ',' this can cause such problems.

Or maybe you're just receiving a input file of the wrong format.

In theory there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

How did such a simple flaw ever get into production? May I suggest that you investigate your test and verification procedures?
