It might be a metadata issue!
Check your metadata and the original data in the sequential file.

What do YOU understand by this error message?

Even from the sparse information you have provided I can tell that the error was thrown in the first line of the file (offset 0) and that there were more bytes in that line than the metadata specify. Chances are that you need to, but have not, specified First Line is Column Headings.

It is intresting to see people demanding answers as if this is a tutorial. The forum is to suggest and discuss datastage issues. The reply from pandeesh is apt. It would be nice to learn some courtesy.

pandeesh is trying to give you a hint as to what the warning might mean. This is by no means uncourteous! It remains up to you to check your specific data and stage-configuration, since we haven't got access to it.
As to your last sentence, I agree entirely. :)

Your input record is shorter than the definition of the record in your metadata.
