Bu default it is a Stable Sort that is performed. As kumar has mentioned set the partitioning to "Same" mode in the Join. If it is kept to Auto, DataStage will repartition the data (to HASH). If it is SAME then no repartition takes place, and the same sort order and the same partitioning ...

Yes, Its a Good Idea, first select the records and land in a dataset in JobA and then IN JobB trunacate those records. It will avoid you all of your problems regarding Truncation.

Hi Ajith, Here you are performing lookup and taking the field DESC from reference is it right ? If your lookup fails, it have to give Null in the filed DESC. Here my question is what is the nullability of filed DESC ( NO/YES). If it is NO, datastage will set ' ' for the DESC filed and check If it is...
