Remove Bad Characters

Removing bad characters from the file \\FILESERVER\Act\Weekly Updates\weeklyupdate.txt.

Verifying the data:

NOTE: It is possible to increase the column length of the source columns in the data source to be equal to that of the target OnContact columns. Example: Increase your source columns A/R_Comments and Sales_Comments, both, from 100 char to 250 char, since the target custom OnContact comments columns are both nchar 250.

Wow I feel really silly now. I never caught that. It makes total since now that I think about it too b/c every time they ask me to fix something it is always an account number that starts with a letter after P from what I can recall. I ran the import with the file and got 4015 rows. Thanks again for all your help. I will do some investigating into that record to see what the problem is. I have a feeling it may have something to do with the '/ /' and '\ \' around that phone number. I will let you know.

Hi Adam,

I tested this file and found that there was a 'bad' row of data in the file that appeared to prevent ~ 1300 rows from importing. When I tested here, I noticed that the initial 'Loading file..“ window showed that it only loaded 2738 / 4016 rows (please see screenshot below) loaded. So, the problem lies not with the import, but the data.

I then let the import run the 2738 rows in, then found where the import stopped import (on the PA3272 records) by selecting from oncd_company and order by updated_date. 'Better Hearing Centers (2083)' was at the top, so I found it in the text file, and removed the row under it, “PA3272”,”AUDIOLOGY & HEARING (H1013)“

The specific row is:

"PA3272","AUDIOLOGY & HEARING    (H1013)","AID DISPENSERS","642 BROAD STREET","CLIFTON","NJ","07013","0418","PAT BIONDI","02","9737775335","12/27/07","","REC. BY MIKE POOLE    //(973)777-0011\\","","N30"

I am not entirely sure what is wrong with this row. If you DTS this file to a SQL table, you'll see that the rows are off-kilter at some point.

Please re-run the attached file, and let me know if you still are not able to import all 4015 (I removed the 'bad' one) or not, and specifically the row with account WA8600. Please also let me know if you have anyt questions.
