Error: An error occurred while skipping data rows

I am constantly getting error message “Error: An error occurred while skipping data rows”. Here is my scenario:

I am pulling data from a text flat file which is Vertical Bar {|} delimited. My data source files naturally come without headers (no column names on first row). So what I did to bypass this is –

1.       I used a control file to supply the header names when I developed my package. This control file’s column names have corresponding column order used in the data source files.
2.       I then added an expression to my Flat File Connection Manager so that the system should automatically pick up new incoming files (files without headers).

Now when I try to run my package I am receiving “Error: An error occurred while skipping data rows”. Could this be due to the fact that the system is expecting the column names which I entered when I developed the package while this new file does not have any headers, or could it be something different? There is very little information on the internet about this kind of error message. The only meaningful information that I have found is from the link below but unfortunately the case explained there is not the same as my situation.

I’m also aware that one can get the same error if the specified delimiter type on their package is different from the one on the flat file. Still that is not the case in my situation. Can someone please kindly help me troubleshoot this.

Many thanks,
