Sequential file behaviour
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 2:07 pm
I have job where it reads from sequential file and stores the data in dataset.There is one column in the sequential file named VERSION(say) and it's defined as VARCHAR(1).
Now in the file if any records are coming say 'AB' for VERSION then it truncates up to 'A' in both 8.5 and 11.3.But in 11.3 am getting one warning like the below where in 8.5 no warnings have been generated.
External string too long. Imported only 1 out of 2 external characters. Ignoring last 1 characters up to delimiter.
I have checked the message handler also,bit nothing is defined in 8.5.
Any idea on this?
