You create the routine outside of DataStage. You compile and link it outside of DataStage. Then, within DataStage, you create a "new parallel routine", which is actually an entry in the Repository that tells DataStage where to find your routine and with what arguments it needs to be called.

Instead of Xfm -> UV -> HF it suffices to use Xfm -> UV.
In this case the CREATE TABLE statement is likely to persevere.
If it does not, involve your support provider.
What exact release of DataStage is this?
