The cost varies country by country, depending on such things as exchange rates and Prometric's local charging policies.

It is loaded into memory, but I take issue with the word "overhead". As I originally posted, every non-sparse lookup reference link involves a virtual Data Set (and therefore being loaded into memory). So the use of a Lookup File Set as the source does not impose any additional overhead compared to ...

In the mapping in the Join stage you can separately propagate columns from both inputs onto the output. Therefore, if an input column is NULL you have your first condition; if the input column is not null then you have your second condition. No need to assign anything.

It's the name of the COLUMN that must match - one of the rules in DataStage designer is that the links connecting to a stage must be uniquely named. Therefore, yes, if the column names are different in the column(s) used for matching, you need to effect a name change. The Copy stage is the least cos...

More clearly, No. You can do achieve what you describe using a Filter stage or a Transformer stage. You may be able to do it with a Switch stage (if the condition for output link selection is based on values in the data). If a Copy stage has N output links it will always generate N streams of output...

Copy stage does not create output files. The Copy stage creates as many copies of its input stream as there are output links from the stage. This is done in memory - no files are involved.
