Hi,
As far as I know the '#' and '$' characters are special characters in datastage. Generally the problem comes when you have these characters in metadata, I am not sure why these characters in the data should affect anything. But, you can try by setting the DS_ENABLE_RESERVED_CHAR_CONVERT parameter as true.

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for ETL, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.
