Reading .csv files using sequential file stage. source file has few pading char..if we remove those pading char in the source then we are able to read that file. now we are required to read source file even it has pading char.

Thanks much

you can mention padchar in the FORMAT tab under TYPEDEFAULTS->GENERAL section...
you should be able to accomodate reading the file with padchar..
