Hi,

@Saraabdi955 could you attach a file like that so that I can see what's happening?

Hiو @DavidP 
In this case, even if the limiter has a problem, the first line that is read enters the database.

I think its because of first step: 1 Record Limit set to 1.

How can I prevent even the first line from entering the database if the file has a problem?
