Lots of folks did. Did you search the forum?

Now send dollars for a license to Data Direct. Your 30 day grace period has expired. The drivers supplied with DataStage are licensed only for use with DataStage ODBC stage.

Is it really Avenue, or is it Apt (Apartment)? That it is followed by a 1 (which you're putting in UV1) suggests the latter. Perhaps this particular A (in this particular pattern) needs to go into UT1 in the xxADDR rule set)? You need to determine that before you can accurately address the conversion.

Prove it. Post the record schema associated with the CFF stage. You can find this in the generated OSH in the job properties dialog.

Add some form of change detection/comparison between source and target. Use this to eliminate insertion of unchanged records.

Disable operator combination to isolate the stage that is generating the error.
Try using casing as per the manual for the function names, for example NullToEmpty().

Curious. They usually use nn for minutes (rather than mi), and you really would need matching quotes around your format string. But if you say it works, who am I to disbelieve you?

Read the warning again. You are performing an export (= writing in human-readable format). There are nulls in the data. You have not provided any property (for example Null Field Value) to tell DataStage how to represent NULL in the target. If the sequential file is fixed width, the Null Field Value...

That is a clue that there is at least one warning or error message logged. You can detect the job sequence's status with DSGetJo...

Welcome aboard.

There is no default password.

You create the user as a Windows user, and allocate the password there. If you are a member of the Administrators group you can reset the password. If you are not you can't, and have to grovel to someone who is.

Look at the date conversion functions either in the Modify stage chapter or for the Transformer stage in Appendix A in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide - there are functions for extracting date components.
