Oracle Error Message

KUP-04023: field start is after end of record

Reason for the Error

This can happen when specifying either absolute or relative positioning for a field.

Solution

Verify that the definition of the layout of fields in the data file is correct. If it is valid for fields at the end of the record to be missing, use the MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL clause in the access parameters.
