problem with fixed width file

[sravanthi]

Hi,

I'm reading fixed width file.I used record length is Fixed and delimiter none.And Packed as no(overpunch).

For all decimal fields i have mentioned field width by editing the row.

I'm not able to view the whole data.Some of the records are getting rejected when i run the job.

Sample of the data inserted into output is :

The warning in the director is :

Input buffer overrun at field "FIELD", at offset: 1,573.

This is the last column in the record.The input file is ftped from Mainframe.

Please advice!

Thanks,

What is your column "FIELD" declared as? Do you get the buffer overrun error on several rows, or perhaps just the last row in the file?

[ray.wurlod]

Where do you get your metadata? Ask the mainframe folks for the COBOL file definition, and import the table definition from that. At the very least it ought to match the data you are receiving. Then you might contemplate using either a Sequential File stage with fixed-width format, or perhaps a Complex Flat File stage, to parse the records. You also have to specify, in either case, that there is no line terminator (record delimiter).

[sravanthi]

The column FIELD is declared as char(10).I have got the buffer overrun on several rows.

I have got table definition from database which send the data to Mainframe.I'm using the files ftped from Mainframe.


Please advice!

Thanks!

Review the manual's section on importing table definition for fixed-width files. The total number of characters in the metadata must exactly match the total number of characters in the data record.
