Reading of csv file using Seq File Stage

[krisp321]

Hi I want to read .csv file data using seq. file stage, but I have an issue here

Data is as follows (presume all are varchar datatypes)

100,200,300,A,"34,00","64,000","0,23"
200,200,500,B,"22,000","11,0"12,00"

Here is the issue, because the values within double quotes contains commas, it is treating as delimiter value, though it is single value


Please suggest me how to handle this
Final Delimiter=end

Field Level
Delimiter=comma
Quote=double


Thanks in advance

If you define Quote as double, then you are fine. Were you able to run your successfully?

Hi
Quote=double also I have done it before which I already mentioned in my first post.

Its not going to work, because within quotes , comma is there, which is getting treated as delimiter and my values is getting truncated

Looking for some better solution

Your quote setting should work. Truncation problem is due to your length defined for that field. Increase your length, then you should be able to read the data.

Hi
thanks for ur reply. its not the problem with length, its varchar with no length specification.

You can check from ur end placing the same data in my first posting
it wont work if there is comma within double quotes

Really appreciate if someone can give an affective solution.
I am not expecting simple new datastage level solutions

I am saying comma within quotes is getting treated as delimiter which should not..THATS MY ONLY CONCERN
PLEASE DONT SUGGEST, LENGHT PROBLEM OR SOME TRUNCATION PROBLEM.

See if a server Sequential File stage - either in a server job or in a server shared container - can read this file properly. You can use a server shared container in a parallel job.

Sorry, thats my typing error, data in file is correct with double quotes and having a comma in it

Thanks
