We are supposed to load a pipe delimited flat file through a SSIS 2010 task using Flat File Connection Manager. We faced a weird scenario where a row has a blank column. Below is the example :
EMP_ID|EMP_NM|JOB_TITL|TERRITORY|ADDR|CITY|ST|ZIP|MANGR
123|ABC||X12345|128 Rolling ST|Rochester Hills|MI|59309|MXG
567|XYZ||Y13425|523 Grace Avenue|Greenville|GA|48459|MXG
SSIS loads the columns as usual till "XYZ" and then rest all the columns get populated as blank except the last column "MXG" in the row.
