Borat, since it has a capital letter, is a proper noun (in both senses). It is a person's name, albeit a fictitious person, an alter ego of Sacha Baron Cohen. I leave the remaining research as an exercise for the reader.

UTF-8 is a term that covers a multitude of different encodings of Unicode. DataStage actually uses an idiosyncratic encoding that should strictly be called UV-UTF8; it preserves dynamic array delimiter characters as single byte characters, and therefore must map genuine Char(248) through Char(255) i...

The UNION ALL ought not to matter, since the ORDER BY is applied after the rows are selected. Involve your support provider - you may need a patch or an upgrade. I have not encountered this particular message except when the rows genuinely were not in the order the developer asserted (on the input l...

What I meant was there is no way in the GUI just to put a null into the values in the Test grid. You have to come up with some representation of null (I used the word "NULL", so maybe that wasn't clear). Assign genuine null (system variable @NULL) to Arg1 if this is detected.
