I have a file that I have been loading for weeks.  We were not loading the first line of the file, however now we need to.  I have developed a path for it to run through.  It has a three letter identifier like all the other lines.  I've defined it as all the other lines but no matter what I do, Talend will not recognize it.

Ok, so I figured out the issue.  I had a file of all strings and I wanted it to convert the date string to an actual date.  I had Date selected in the schema portion of the CHD selection.   The date in the file was 20180101 and Talend didn't like that I had set the schema to date "yyyymmdd".  Once I changed it back to string, it started working.
