I am trying to read a sequential file in parallel job containing 182 fields and when I run it 1073 records are getting rejected while reading with the error message "Input buffer overrun at field "prior_sex_conv"" and "Import warning at record 5555.".When I try to read 181 fields its working properly it reads all the records.When I try to make Record delimter as end only 82 records are rejected.But increasing the length of last field to LongVarchar or length is not helping.The file is created successfully in server job.

What is the record delimiter used in the file? What is the record delimiter specified on the Format tab?

Thanks Ray I resolved it.Its a pipe delimited file with DOS new line terminator.Its actually a problem with the quote being defined as the quote is coming as apart of the field and sequential file stage was not able to read it.I made the delimiter as ~ and quote as ! which resolved the problem.

A more technically accurate solution is probably to set the quote character to none.

I have the same problem , but am getting the error when the last field is null , when the last field has a value it works fine, but when the last field doesnt have a value then it gives me the Input Buffer Overrun Problem.. please advice.
