          2 30 5/1/00 5/3/00

Answer 1

In your file is there always a value for each field?
If you have nulls you need to put an expression to not map when there is a null. This is important if they are numbers as numbers tend to want a value.
In the transformation on the right, right-click the field that will recieve nulls, select the if clause. This will create a if above the field. Drag the field on the left to both the if and the field itself.
On the if map you need to add the expression string-length(field) > 0. Do this by right-click the if map and choose strings conditions, string-length, then a a logical expression > 0
cheers
