Reading a fixed width file without Header and Trailer record

[dsscholar]

Hi

I am reading a fixed width file by removing a Header and Trailer record by placing a filter condition as grep -v HDR| grep -v TRL in the Sequential file stage,so it will be removing the header and trailer and i can able to process the detail records successfully

But in the case of without detail records(example only Header and Trailer record) ,its aborting with error like
Filter status 256;
filter process failed: 1;
import error at record 0.

Can anyone give me the suggestions to overcome this issue

Check that the file has more than two lines before even attempting to process it. Add a reject link to the Sequential File stage to handle attempt to read empty file (that does not match metadata).
