Sometimes a few rows of a source text file have fewer columns/fields than the connection manager is expecting and when it tries to process these rows, instead of sending them to an error output, the Data Flow just hangs on them and will spin indefinitely.
I want to do some pre-processing of the source text file in order to inspect each row, identify the ones which are missing fields and then either prepend or append some text string to those rows so that later, when the data flow task begins to read it, it will for sure be send to the error output, thereby allowing the rest of the good rows to be processed.
The text files are tab delimited with CR row delimiters and no string delimiters.
All suggestions much appreciated.
