How do we specify an input file as fixed width in DS parallel job?
Is setting Field Deleimiter=None enough or is there any other way?

The easiest way is to import the table definition of the sequential file (specifying it as fixed-width, of course, and specifying the field widths) then, in the Sequential File stage, click Load while on the Format tab.
That way the metadata remain untouched by human hands and should be reasonably error free.
