So... these errors come when you try to write to Oracle? You need to answer the NLS question - what is the NLS_LANG setting for your Oracle database?

My days were the same days, so bear that in mind...

Wouldn't you just read one byte at a time and transfer it to an output buffer as long as it's not 0a and when it is, flush the buffer? Something like that? :?

No, as they're not stages that 'fail' like a Job or Routine Activity could. Best to read the docs and understand the option rather than just turn it on or off.

So... we're good? Switching to convert worked for you? Ah, yes - "Thanks....its solved ...i have used convert instead of trim" - messages in subjects only show up when someone replies - something to keep in mind. Please mark the thread as Resolved using the button at the top of the screen!...

Seems... high. What is your ARL, average record length? Does it help if you drop it down to a smaller number, say like 500 or 1000?

Well... that's how that "automatically handle" option works - it handles ones you don't and 'unconditional' doesn't count as 'handled'. Read the docs for that option, it explains how it works.

Is 'upsert' really necessary? Can you use a native Enterprise stage instead? Would help to mention the target db as well.
