How you are trying to read the file? I think your problem is with the column delimiter...

PRoblem is with the txt file. In my txt file the new lines became a . they are in one row.

Welcome aboard! :D
My guess is that it's writing UNIX-style line terminators (LF) rather than Windows-style line terminators (CRLF). If you open with, say, Word you can convert them. There are also converter programs out there, such as unix2dos, that will perform these conversions.
(Or you could create a DataStage job to do the conversions!)

Code: Select all

SeqFileStage  ------>  SeqFileStage

Set the stage property "line terminator" on the source stage to "UNIX" and on the target stage to "DOS". Process the entire line as a single VarChar column.

XML report can be obtained by specifying argument 1 of the DSJobReport routine 'report type' as '2'. Argument 3 of the DSJobReport routine 'XSL stylesheet' optionally specifies an XSL style sheet to format an XML report.

Doesn't the DSJobReport use @FM as a separator? You can do CONVERT(@FM,'~',YourString) to check
