Does the file have a header row? If it does, it can use those names. Otherwise, it has to generate the field names.

You can then substitute your own column names on the Define tab when importing the Sequential File definitions. Or check the "first line is column names" check box if that is the appropriate course. DataStage can not read your mind!

You may have to modify the column metadata to confirm to the source.
