Hi Amit,

i think you cant create a column name with a special character,this will be the error message u will be getting

<b>"Name contains invalid characters: - Only a(A)-z(Z), 0-9, and "_" are permitted"</b>...if in case if it possible let me know

Hi Amit,

Can you ellaborate ?

Actually if you are reading a file(or anything else) which contains special characters, the data type can be created as done for other interfaces. But it is in the adapters that we actually take care of handling these special characters.

Hi Amit,

if it is the column name then i think u cant.but if the value of the field is gonno contain special character then it is possibel.just give the type as string,then it accepts special character like $
