Justin,
I just heard back this AM from our CMOD engineering person...He actually used a UNIX command to find the issue (I'm not Unix person!! haha)...Apparently PSPAD didn't show this (as you said it may now)...Hoping the explanation below makes sense...;-)
The 88 msg of EMXDEFLT is caused by the tab character. As it’s showing the same as a space, it’s very elusive.
The way to find them is by using unix command: grep "$(printf '\t')" filename
After running that, it shows me there is a total of 19 tab characters (\t) in the input file.
For now, I have replaced all tab character with space (cat 1414319.1.EMXDEFLT.EMXDEFLT.2020925.10.ard.Failed.org|sed s/"$(printf '\t')"/' '/g > test.txt), and ingested that file into ERR successfully.
But this has to be corrected by the team who generated the input file in the future.
Please forward this email to that team. And let them know they can capture tab character by searching for "$(printf '\t')" .
