Just to keep it happy set the Null Field Value property for this field to "" (indeed, having done so, you could remove the NullToEmpty transformation).

"double" stands for "double precision floating point number". Whoever authored the message abbreviated this to "dfloat".

In version 7.x, you can only use separate CFF stage for each table. In version 8.x one CFF stage can have different outputs for different tables.

Welcome aboard.

Can you show us what specifications you actually used?

VarChar does not exist for the Modify stage. It's called "string". For example string[max=32] to specify VarChar(32).

Did you change the parameter immediately ahead of UVSPOOL ?

Does your uvconfig file's last line have a line terminator?

The test condition should have been

I have edited the original post to show this.

The Lookup stage has a drop down list of reference inputs. You can choose one from which multiple row returns is permitted.

None of the above. A job sequence will always treat a non-zero return value from a routine as a "failure". To avoid this, you need to explicitly put in place a Failure trigger from the Routine activity. This can go to the same Sequencer as the OK trigger if you like. Bonne chance! Please format your...

The "?" is not necessarily a junk character; it is more likely to be a perfectly normal character but one that can not be mapped using the character map that you currently have specified. The solution to that is to determine how the characters in your data source are encoded, and to specify the appr...

Read it as VarChar and convert it to Time downstream of the Sequential File stage, as discussed in this thread.

Clearly 501.42 is not a valid Decimal[7,5] so the result generated by the IsValid() function is correct. A general "is valid" test for decimal numbers, while not perfect (due, for example, to not handling scientific notation) is IsValid("int64",Field(InLink.TheDecimal,"."...

Capture them with a reject output link from your Sequential File stage and re-parse them downstream with a Transformer, Column Import or similar stage.

Do it with a server job. Use UtilityRunJob() function to run another server job that gets the row count and stores it in its user status area, and get that result back in the main job for update into your table. Or dump the list of table names into a file, read that file into a delimited string and ...

Package Installer on UNIX is an executable called DSPACKINST. Find it on your system. It asks the same questions as its Windows counterpart.

1. A definite maybe. Depends on configurations. 2. MVS. Fewer stages to know/learn. Less flexibility as a result. 3. Equal. "Will IBM continue to support MVS edition?" might be a pertinent question to ask. 4. Define "better". Either can be more expensive, depending on the configuration. 5. MVS, if y...
