sequential file stage using schema file

[srinivas Guduru]

Hi

I am using sequential file stage with schema file but stage is not reading the data and giving warning messages below


When validating export schema: At field "BQR": Exporting nullable field without null handling properties


Field "BQR" delimiter would overrun input buffer, at offset: 2

Import unsuccessful at record 0.

"PROB_DFT_PCT": Exporting nullable field without null handling properties

record
{final_delim=end, record_delim='^', delim='^', quote=none, padchar='#'}

(
BQR:nullable string[2] {null_field=''};

PROB_DFT_PCT:nullable decimal[7,3] {quote=none, null_field=''};


Data file

01^000.090^
02^000.220^
03^000.610^
04^001.400^
05^002.850^
06^005.050^
07^010.250^
08^034.000^

09^095.000^



Canyou please advise me in this regard

Thanks

You have apparently defined the record_delim and delim options to use the same value, as shown in the record schema you provided.

Are the records truly delimited with a '^' character, or do they have a unix linefeed or dos/windows carriage return/linefeed delimiter instead?

Your Sequential File stage used for writing does not have Null Field Value property in the Format or Columns tab, but your design includes at least one column marked as nullable.

'^' charecter is there at end of the First and second field(column) in the file. As a field delimeter.

what should I specify for Null Field Value property in sequential file property page under Format Tab.

Can you please explain me step by step becz I am new to DS

thanks

So '^' is a field delimiter. Why do you also have it as the record delimiter? Correctly defining the record delimiter should take care of at least part of the problem.

Null Field Value: (BTW, this info is in the Parallel Job Developer Guide...good resource for you to read)

Sequential Files, by their nature, don't have NULL columns (NULL is a particular condition which indicates there is no data for a column). You use the Null Field Value to define the value to place into the sequential file column in place of a NULL when WRITING a file, or what value to INTERPRET as (replace with) a NULL when READING a file.
