Here are three possibilities:
1. Use a Build stage (BuildOp).
2. Create a parallel routine (in which there can be a loop) and invoke that from Transformer.
3. Use a BASIC Transformer stage and Fmt() and Field() functions.

Only the Sort Merge collector makes this assumption. If it's not true it doesn't really matter, but warnings about rows out of order may be generated.

Either you don't have permission to SDKSequences or someone has deleted one or both of SDKSequences and D_SDKSequences using operating system commands. The key management routine, because it can't open SDKSequences hashed file, attempts to create it. It is up to you to determine which of the above s...

I don't have a problem with sequencers - you can use them legally (in job sequences) anywhere.

There's no difference in how you do it. There's a significant difference in how it happens. In an SMP ("share everything") environment the repartitioning can take place through shared memory.

To clarify. There's no number in the exponent? Is this "incorrect value" only in View Data, or is it in the output file as well? If in View Data, did you make the column wider, in case part of the value was hidden by inadequate column width?
