odbcwrite stage

I am trying to use the above operator to read a simple file of 15 fields. When the source data is delimited, and so we do not have a record length it fails with this error

Fatal Error: Not bounded length.

When I set the data to fixed length it works OK. But the Oracle writer does not require this. It just gives a warning that the data may be truncated.

How can I work around this?

A second, weirder problem. We have two SQL Server instances. One in Poland and one in the UK. When I load the exact same data, using the exact same script to the UK it works OK. When I load it to the database in Poland, the first record from each partition is inserted correctly, but all other records have the first character of every field replaced with a NULL character.

The only difference in the SQL Server installs is one has the default collation set to Latin1 the other set to Polish.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jon
