Hello @Karthick461 ,

 

this error sometimes appears with some csv or txt files given a faulty field in a record.

 

Try chainging how you read the input file:

 

Change the delimiter to "\0", remove the first row contains field names or leave it (up to you) and increase the field lenght to accomodate all the data on the same column "5000" or more, depending on your needs.
