Hi,
Have you got a 505 characters limit for the row data?
Do you read the row as a single column?
Can you verify the 506th character get lost in the process?
Could it be a row delimiter issue?

Hi, 1. that might have some syncronization/partition and performance issues (using lookup file sets) 2. don't forget the partitioning issues. 3. the routine used by others as you mentioned takes care of the process partitioning (cost is having holes in the sequence key).
