The source file is a file that was created on a mainframe, tersed and ftp'd to an aix server. There it was untersed..Huge file 30m recs. The data is viewed using VIEW DATA from the output tab in the CFF stage.. Here things look good. When the job runs, warning occur with the signed decimal fields..From the message looks like things r shifting 1 byte with eaxh record. My thought was that is is related to the record delimter OxOa.. Tried adding that in the record delimiter without success.

Can you just add a PIC X(001). to your column definition? Or is your picture of the data larger than the actual data?

If the record delimiter really is 0x0A you can specify "UNIX newline" for this property. Or you can specify the three digit decimal code (010).
