You're only young once but there's no statute of limitations on immaturity.

To be old and wise you first have to be young and stupid.

Check that you have write permission everywhere in the DataStage client installation folder. Part of the pre-compilation phase takes place on the client.

If Ascential\DataStage7.5.2 is where the client software is located, nearly everything in it is essential, with the possible exception of Docs (the manuals). For example, all the bitmap files are icons for the various client tools. Nevertheless, keep these manuals somewhere; you'll probably need to ...

It does tell you in which stage the error occurred. Only one stage from your design will generate an export operator in the score. Inspect the score to determine which it is (assuming you can't guess).

I don't think anyone has ever claimed that the Parallel Job Developer's Guide is 100% accurate. That's why it's so useful to have the Orchestrate manuals as well which, in my opinion, are more accurate.

You need to reverse the sense of stream and reference inputs, and perform a regular lookup. The nulls will happen automatically.
