Ernie,

I am trying to use the External Source Stage and Format options as Record Level Record Type = Implicit and Field defaults as Delimiter = None, and Columns metadata as builtin>Examples>Folder is this the right way? because I am not able to view data

Thanks,
Jaya

Read thru the thread and do some searches.....you are sending file "names" from External Source into xml.....there is no context here for "view data". Also check out this link: http://dsrealtime.wordpress.com/2007/12 ... -a-source/

You can use sequential file stage and define your column as LongVarChar - 999999999. This will work.

Again, no, not really a recommended approach.
