2. Drag CSV file input to Transformation area

3. Double click CSV file input and Browse the source file.

Once the source file is in place, click the Get Fields button.

Name,Type,Length will auto populate based on the file contain. Change it accordingly.

4. Once the source file is ready, drag the Table Output to the transformation area.
