Use a Complex Flat File stage, which knows how to deal with them.

Get the COBOL copybook (FD) associated with the data, import that as a table definition, and load that into the Complex Flat File stage so that your metadata reflect what's there.

It's all Oracle bin Larry's fault for not having a proper Integer data type. You can not prevent this message without adjusting your metadata precisely to match that of Oracle, and even then you will get a message logged (a slightly different one).
