Complex Flat File stage.

Every component in the Repository is reusable in some sense.

Welcome aboard. As a general rule we can not do anything useful with "not working" - it's too vague. We need to see the precise error messages that are generated.

You can join hashed files using a UniVerse stage. This will require that VOC pointers exist to the hashed files, and that a suitable set of join columns (one or more) exists in each hashed file.

To summarize:
Transforms become inline code.
Routines do not become inline code but are called at run time.

It is axiomatic that you ought to have no control over physical storage of any individual record; this is a function of the database server so that it can retrieve that record efficiently. Hashed files implement database tables in a number of database products, including UniVerse and UniData, and us...

How much ongoing development is taking place? Do the developers overlap other duties, or are they separate?

If this is Windows XP then you may need a loopback adapter (as advised earlier) or to be connected to some device that can serve you an IP address.

There is no job parameter named ACT_L00_TRG in the job called jobname.

The fault may be in the Routine code. Does it return its input argument unchanged? Is the Ans variable assigned a value? How are you calling the routine from the BASIC Transformer stage? In particular are you using the Expression Editor to create your expressions?

In the job list on the left of QS Designer you should be able to right click on the job and choose "view report files" from the menu.

Can you please post exact error messages? Interpreted error messages can lead to huge amounts of time being wasted.

If the routines are of type "transform function" then yes.
If the routines are of type "before/after subroutine" then no, you can not use these from a BASIC Transformer stage expression.
