C1,C2,C3,C4
100,200,A B,300

Answer / abhinav
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.

ou can do this by executing a pre session unix command. Replace consecutive delimiters with some Junk value and later in informatica mapping replace it with null.
