Welcome aboard.

The best first step is Search - DSXchange has been around for a long time and you are not the first to ask this question. This may get you going faster than waiting for someone to answer your specific post.

Clearly this approach, as you have implemented it, is not a good one. You must design any restart capability, and this involves keeping accurate records of (at least the count of) which rows were sent to the target table and, indeed, which ones failed. One way is to tag the target records with a uni...

IsNull() returns a TinyInt, and Trim() can only be applied to a string. This is why it won't compile. Trim() won't like NULL so you have to convert this null before the Trim() function is applied. IsNull() does not convert; it only reports. You need something such as Trim(If IsNull(InLink.Th...

You will not get any support from IBM if you do, even though you can get it to work.

Windows XP is simply not a supported platform for DataStage Server.

Because, by definition, any Outer Join returns NULL in all columns defined on its unmatched input.

This is regular SQL, not just DataStage.

Folks here post as and when they can (in between earning a living). We're either thinking about it or have nothing further to offer. You are paying for support - get them to earn some of that money.

There is no DSTOOLS command, on either platform.

However, the DS.TOOLS menu is available - and identical - on all platforms.

Your diagnosis of the Field function is incorrect. Field("A|B","|",2,1) will return "B". I suspect you don't have "B" alone as the second field, that it is followed by a field mark (@FM). Therefore you may need Field(Trim(XYZ.$CommandOutput,@FM,"A"),"|",2, 1)
