I can get the flat file name in mapping through checking the AddCurrentlyProcessedFileNameproperty in Source Analyzer,from there i can do my logic but my question is

One way to do this is to use indirect sources. You can configure your session to use indirect sources, wherein the source file names are coming from a text file (each entry in the listfile is a source file session will read).

Then you can arrange your code to add that dynamic filename to that listfile.

Error while reading source file name starts with a number in informatica

The source file name in my project starts with a number for example 20070908abcd.csv. Informatica is not allowing to read the source in the designer and displays the following message:
The first character in this name cannot be a number.

Could you please let me know how to handle as many source files are of this format?
