Significance of ABAP Dataflow

I was trying to do some POC to extract the data from the SAP ECC table to an SQL Server table, I was getting a column delimiter error when Data Services is reading the .dat file.
I was using the “Shared Directory” mechanism.
How ever I was unable to figure out the column delimiter issue.

But I am able to extract the data from SAP ECC table into an SQL server table successfully with out using a ABAP Data flow, I was using the normal Dataflow and the query transfrom for my extraction.

Can someone help in understanding the significance of the ABAP Data flow and was there any reason why I was getting the column delimiter error while using the ABAP Dataflow ?

Thanks,
Joes

You might check your settings on the SAP repository definition versus the reference and other guides provided. You might also be sure you haven’t made any column changes in the DF that were not promoted in ECC via ABAP.

Did you manually open the DAT file and verify the data & columns line up?
