Job log. The event is captioned "This job has N data sets...". Read the second if there are two - the first is for licensing.

WHY "without using funnel stage" ?

Simply create two files, and post-process in an after-job subroutine ExecDOS to type the one to append to the other.

Code: Select all

TYPE file2 >> file1 && ERASE file2

At a job level pass the row count as a job parameter and use its value to drive a conditional lookup in a Lookup stage.

At a sequence level use the row count to select which of two jobs to run - one doesn't even have a Lookup stage.

You did not have exclusive access to the project when you executed DS.REINDEX Therefore the indexes were dropped, but not re-created. Do it again when you can guarantee that you have exclusive access and the indexes are successfully rebuilt. Execute the LIST.READU command and make sure there is no e...

The better command is

Code: Select all

RESIZE <<hashedfile>> * * * 64BIT USING pathname 
where pathname is a directory on a file system with plenty of free space (at least 2GB). This gives you two I/O channels instead of one, and eliminates filling the file system where the hashed file actually resides.

Is this multi-level? Would you need to generate complete hierarchies, such as 1 2 3 4 5 6 ? That would add a deal of complexity (recursion), but could be solve using a carefully-designed hashed file and the little-known WITHIN query.

These maps translate from the "native" encoding - for example BIG5 or GB2312 for Chinese - and the idiosyncratic UV-UTF...

Check out Chuck Smith's web site - he has what you seek for hashed files, and it's easily adaptable for other OLETYPEs.

Welcome aboard. :D

Are you trying to import using ODBC or using a database client? If ODBC you need to have configured the DSNs it will be using, by editing a file called .odbc.ini in the DataStage Engine directory.
