Another problem I have, is loading text files where the delimiter is a comma and all fields are placed between double quotes.
The data loads fine, but some fields already had quotes in them before the load file was created, so now Im sitting with to many quotes for some fields, eg.
""Bahamas"" (2 quotes at the start and 2 quotes at the end)
Datastage aborts as soon as it runs into a field like this. The error I get
is:
read_delimited() - invalid quotes, column City = ""
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to handle this ?
