job reads a comma delimited flat file and creates a XML. All the source fields are mapped ( totally 9 fields) and none of the columns have NULL or any special character data . The job aborts with the below fatal error message.

XML_304,0: Fatal Error: CDIER0401E: An error occurred during XML parsing because=java.io.IOException: The character '.

What would be the cause of the error ? Can someone throw light on this.

Are there more lines to this error message?

Thanks Ray.

No meaningful messages other than the below.

node_node2: Player 2 terminated unexpectedly.
main_program: APT_PMsectionLeader(2, node2), player 2 - Unexpected exit status 1.

main_program: Step execution finished with status = FAILED.

Start eliminating columns. One of them is likely to have bad data, or you have an issue with the file's definition. I would definitely stsrt by zapping the contents of the final column in the csv in an upstream transformer. Just force it to "xxxxx" for now. Coukd be that you are reading past the end of record and bringjng in some bad characters.
