With DataMigrator (7.6.4) I just started using Bulkload flows into DB2 (running on unix V9.5).
I got warning messages on almost all loaded records:
SQL3125W The character data in row "F0-1" and column "2" was truncated because the data is longer than the target database column.

As it is only a warning the bulk load did end succesfully, but about 100 times slower as should be because of all the message processing.
After trying several things I did find out it has to do with the last column being a character field, and I think it might be caused by the CR/LF as record delimiter in the tab-delimited file on Windows being loaded into DB2 on unix where there is a 1 character record delimiter.

Below the relevant code from the DM flow:
TABLE FILE &BLKIN

PRINT
E01 NOPRINT
COMPUTE CODEKEY/I11=E01;
COMPUTE AUDATEX/A6=E02;
ON TABLE HOLD AS SQLINLD FORMAT TAB
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ &STOPAT
END
-RUN
-SET &&CM__RETURN = IF &LINES EQ 0 THEN 18708 ELSE &FOCERRNUM; -IF (&&CM__RETURN NE 0) GOTO :ENDJOB; -TYPE (ICM18216) Starting bulk load procedure

BULKLOAD tst_rdccodeaudatex FOR SQLINLD CODEKEY; AUDATEX; BULKPARM BLK_MODE=REPLACE END -RUN

I tested it with several DB2 tables, and it happens with all tables having a last column being character. If I have a table with the last column being numeric, I do not have this problem.

I tried several workarounds like changing the order of the Target Transformations, but it did not help, as in the tab delimited file and the bulkload always the order is taken from the synonym. That was finally the workaround that I found: to edit the synonym to change the order of the fields to make sure that the last field is numeric.

Nevertheless this workaround does not work if I have a DB2 table with only character columns.

Is there any other setting that I should change to prevent this problem?
