Error reading sequential file

Hi,
I have the following error while trying to read a text file using a sequential file stage:

My colleague said it might be because the notepad i use to view the file displays only 1024 bytes in a line?

My file is a fixed width file. It as 2000 bytes. I'm not using any delimiter.

Please help me.. I'm new to parallel extender.. been working on server till now.

Sequential file from Server to parellel is quite different one..

First thing that you need to check is all the properties of the stage.

Most importantly check delimiter, final delimiter and quote.. Most of the things get messy with the usage of these properties.

If record legnth is fixed, use that property also..

Hope this helps..

Hi,
Thank you very much for your response.
the issue was that the i had defined teh file to 2K as that was teh expected input. Sadly, the file provided to me had only 1912 bytes and hence the error.
It is working fine now.
