Error description
Using Teradata Multiload stage in DS7.5.3 PX in Linux Redhat, customer has to use Extended/Unicode in the source TDML stage to be able to apply string columns defined as latin to target as without the Extended/Unicode property, they get ustring->string conversion warnings for all the source strings. Only when reading from teratada tables does the customer get this error. When using ODBC or DB2 as sources, no conversion is issued.
Local fix

With the fix, TDEE will read CHAR/VARCHAR types as "string" (instead of "ustring") and hence there will not be any conversion warnings (from "ustring" to "string").
