This error means, that the Parser hasn’t found all fields or record delimiter before the end of file. If you want to ignore invalid records set different [data policy](http://www.cloveretl.com/documentation/UserGuide/topic/com.cloveretl.gui.docs/docs/data-policy.html) on the Reader. But here (as it fails on the 1st record) I expect, you use wrong metadata for data extraction.
