External table max record length check

Syed UllahApr 6 2012 — edited Apr 6 2012
This question is regarding fixed length input file.

I am checking to see if it is possible to add a check to verify the max length of a record when defining an external table.

For example, if I am expecting a fixed length file with max record/row length of 100, is it possible to reject lines in the
file that are more than 100 characters long?

Thanks.
