Trouble loading flat file when we need to skip some fields


SAP BI, Data load, Data Transfer Process (DTP), SAP errors, Persistent Staging Area (PSA)

Hello

This is the first time that I have tried to create transformations and a DTP. I have a flat file that has three text fields in the file that I do not want to import. When I try to load to the PSA I get the following message; "

"Error 'The argument 'PO QTY' cannot be interpreted as a number' on assignment field /BIC/ZQUANTITY record 1 value PO QTY" Message no. RSDS013. I have double checked the DataSource, flat file and DTP layouts.

I know that this means that it is trying to read the first text field into the quantity field. How do I preview this? Have I missed a step in the process?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
