The message is fairly clear; inspect the generated osh to see which link is trying to use a virtual Data Set where the control file relates to some other kind of structure.

Prevent this from happening. Get more space. Full file systems can result in corrupted hashed files and other bad things, that you really don't want to occur.

Possibly that the RPC daemon did not start. Did you check? Did you use netstat to determine whether there were still connections active, which will prevent the RPC daemon (dsrpcd) from starting?

I expect to have a white paper called Parallelism in Server Jobs available in about a month. Please be patient. All will be revealed!

NIC = network interface card

Welcome aboard. :D Read on-line help about importing table definitions from COBOL file definitions. If there are multiple "table" definitions in an FD, then more than one table definition will be imported. The most usual ways to work with these kinds of data is to use a Complex Flat File (CFF) stage.

Can you post the record schema for the Data Set?

Editing bit values in a structure is a very dangerous thing to do - don't even contemplate attempting it without expert assistance such as Craig had. You can do a lot of damage if you don't know what you are doing. You can do even more damage if you do know what you are doing! (BTW, I teach this stu...

Particularly if the range is contiguous, the Index() function is likely to be fastest. Index("ABCDEFGHIJKLM", InLink.TheColumn,1) > 0 The comparison operators (> and <) are fine, and - given that the data are already non-numeric - will automatically do a left-justified comparison. ...

Do you really mean "release" (which can not be done from the "UV" level) or "unlock"?
