Please show your job design, with stage types and stage and link names. That will make it easier to relate the information in the message to where it is being generated, and avoid unnecessary guessing. But I will guess that the "file" referred to is a named pipe used by the inter-process communicati...

Any time there's a warning about BCIConnect() failing, it means that DataStage was unable to connect to a data source (typically through ODBC or UV stage, or DRS stage with ODBC selected). You need to check ("job starting" event in job log) that any parameters had correct values. You need to test wh...

For one read, the instrinsic Trans() function is probably easiest to code - no DEFFUN declaration needed.

Ray, just a bit curious to know - does this mean there is a illegal way to do this?

Yes. I don't go there. And it may not work in version 8.0 and later.

In 8.0 there is a new role called Super Operator, who can view but not change job designs. And can run all jobs that are in a runnable state, not just released jobs.

Incidentally, Director for PDA is no longer available.

There are two loop constructs in BASIC; a counted (FOR..NEXT) loop used if the number of iterations required is known in advanced, and an uncounted (LOOP..REPEAT) loop used if the number of iterations required is not known in advance. The compiler has objected to a REPEAT statement that has no corre...

Not possible. You must get a match on the blocking fields (that's how the blocks are formed). Then the match weights are applied on the other fields to determine whether a match has in fact been found.

Ship Date, *Stage 8.0

It's been announced as 8.0 now, so we don't need to call it Hawk. Windows version ships GA November. AIX and Linux versions ship December. Others ship first quarter. Those from the product manager's mouth. While he didn't state which year, I believe he intends Windows, AIX and Linux to ship this yea...

Actually version 6.0 onwards. Versions up to 5.2 used port number 31438 (which is used by UniVerse RPC daemon to this day).

Is that the complete error message? Which stage generated it? Please post your job design (nicely formatted between Code tags) so we can take a look at it. What else was happening on the machine at the time?

The matching algorithms require at least one blocking column (field).
