Modify stage certainly can change a column name. For example:

As you note, the problem is reading from Oracle. Are you using direct read or SQL as the extraction method?
There may also be a problem in the Modify stage, but solve the Oracle issue first.

Welcome aboard. :D
It appears that your parameter is not being resolved correctly. Please verify that it is correctly spelled and cased, and an appropriate value is being passed from the job that is using the shared container.

DataStage can still operate in MetaStage proxy mode. It's just that the data will build up on disk as the process metabroker doesn't kick in to move them. You would have to uninstall MetaStage completely to get rid of the check box.

Is the first run still going when you start the tenth?

An operating system that you need to reboot once every couple of years rather than once every couple of hours?

One that can handle files larger than 2GB (ok, 3GB with some fiddling) - like into the TB range?

You might use a hash file in Amsterdam. In DataStage you use a Hashed File stage, which works with a hashed file.

Right click on a row in the Columns grid and choose Edit Row from the menu. You can also double click on the row number in the Columns grid. In the Sequential File stage there is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom that will get you to where Craig suggested you go.

Welcome aboard. :D Etiquette Note We don't do "urgent" or "asap" here. DSXchange is an all-volunteer site, no-one gets paid for posting. If you need urgent support, sign up with your support provider for premium service. Also, it's late night in the USA, so few of the posters from there will be chec...

What it means is that you're on your own. It may work, but the total amount of support you'll get from IBM is a round number.

Running a computer without making backups is like bungy jumping without a rope.

Learn from the experience.

Export your projects daily.

Is the server backed up? It may yet be possible to recover your work.

The wrapping occurs because the names you chose are longer than the default column display width. Override with the FMT keyword.

Welcome aboard. :D

Please describe exactly where you find the term "on skip".

That advice is valueless if the file system is full. They won't be able to create the new hashed files in the Repository. It would be like trying to pour the fifth gallon into a two gallon container.

They ARE in your control. You are there as the (senior?) DataStage developer. Push back when the requirements are silly and solvable by sensible means.

Use DSJ.PARAMVALUE instead of DSJ.PARAMTYPE.STRING
