Suppose we have a csv file with contents as below which is
used has a source file.
C1,C2,C3,C4
100,200,A B,300
200,400,X,Y,299 ---> it should be 4 values but by mistake
300,600,C D,566 with a comma in between X & Y,its 5.
My target takes only 4 columns, How to take care of the 2
record as above without rejecting it and loading in the target.
Hope u guys have understood my scenerio

I am not sure if the solution I am going to post will
actually work but it is worth a shot:
1. Don't define a delimiter so that the records are read
as '100,200,A B,300' and '200,400,X,Y,299' and so on i.e.
as a single record. This is to ensure that all the records
pass the source-qualifier.
2. Now you have all the records including the faulty one in
SQ. Next, you put an expression where you use REPLACECHAR
to remove all the commas from all the records. Now ALL your
records will of the same length.
3. Next you can use SUBSTR to read the first 3 numbers to
get the first column, next 3 to get the second column and
so on and so forth to get proper data in proper columns.
My explanation might not be clear but I have a hunch that
this might work.
