With such a simple layout, you could read this as a single VarChar field (using a Sequential File stage) and parse it in a Transformer stage, flattening the repeating group into separate columns.

If you have any of the "Ascential" products, try asking IBM. They may be prepared to give you the PDF files in the hope of a sale.

As well as that, the 7.5x2 client has LOTS of problems talking to other server versions that specifically 7.5x2.
