how to skip a column in while reading the file of fixed length in OIC (FTP Adapter)

Summary:

Hi,

We are reading a fixed length file from an FTP directory using FTP adapter. There is one column in the file which have different length of characters. For example, we defined in the XSD schema this column will be 30 chars but in the file for some records we will receive 30 chars and for some records it may be not 30 or less than 30. So in this case integration is going into error that file translation is not as per the the schema content.

Is there any way we can skip that column while reading the file ? I mean data should be in the file but while reading the file we will skip that columns data, is it achievable ? or please suggest a workaround. Thanks
