Unable to read a Seq File

[atul9806]

Hi Team
I am facing problem while reading a Seq file.

This is my file :

EMPNO,PROJNO,ACTNO,EMPTIME,EMSTDATE,EMENDATE
10,AD3100,10,0.5,1/1/2002,7/1/2002
70,AD3110,10,1,1/1/2002,2/1/2003
230,AD3111,60,1,1/1/2002,3/15/2002
230,AD3111,60,0.5,3/15/2002,4/15/2002
230,AD3111,70,0.5,3/15/2002,10/15/2002
230,AD3111,80,0.5,4/15/2002,10/15/2002
230,AD3111,180,0.5,10/15/2002,1/1/2003
240,AD3111,70,1,2/15/2002,9/15/2002
240,AD3111,80,1,9/15/2002,1/1/2003
250,AD3112,60,1,1/1/2002,2/1/2002
250,AD3112,60,0.5,2/1/2002,3/15/2002
250,AD3112,60,1,1/1/2003,2/1/2003
250,AD3112,70,0.5,2/1/2002,3/15/2002
250,AD3112,70,1,3/15/2002,8/15/2002
250,AD3112,70,0.25,8/15/2002,10/15/2002
250,AD3112,80,0.25,8/15/2002,10/15/2002
250,AD3112,80,0.5,10/15/2002,12/1/2002
250,AD3112,180,0.5,8/15/2002,1/1/2003

I am using "comma" as delimiter but getting this error while reading file.

In the seq file stage what datatype you have given for the date columns. The date columns are not in proper format. Change those column types as Varchar and try reading it.

[ArndW]

Although changing the data type of the date columns to string will solve the reading problem, you will still want to convert this string date to a real date. I would edit the extended attributes of the date column in your source sequential file stage and add a format of "%dd/%mm/%yyyy" so that the dates are converted correctly while reading the file.

Agree with the above although wouldn't %dd expect a two digit day? Can't say I've ever tried against a 1 digit day as I've autmatically used %(d,s)

[ArndW]

I didn't look at the input file in detail and didn't notice that the days and months can be one digit.
