Do you mean the maximum number of concurrently managed sequences (unlimited) or the maximum key value that can be generated in any particular sequence (99,999,999,999,999) ? The latter could be higher if the configuration parameter EXACTNUMERIC were changed.

Is there some reason to have the "t" bit set on /tmp? What happens if you chmod -R 777 /tmp?

Yes, but it must be version 7.5x2, which is the only version that has job compilation and execution capability for the Windows platform. With other versions you may be able to create parallel jobs, but you will not be able to compile or to execute them. Note, too, that you will need a C++ compiler; ...

The warnings appear because there are situations about which you need to know. You can not suppress these warnings; you can only prevent them, by using your ETL logic to guarantee that no row is sent to the target table that will violate any constraint on that table.

From memory a three digit decimal number (such as 111) or a four digit hex number (such as 00f6) ought to work. You may have uncovered a bug. What does your support provider say?

In the interim I can only suggest that you edit the generated JCL before sending it to the mainframe.

This is an error within the client software itself. It usually means that a number (counter?) within the client application has become too large, or an attempt has been made to access an element larger than dimensioned in an array. Do you have a very large number of elements (jobs) in that particula...

A good way to remember is that, as far as the database server is concerned, a DataStage job is just another client application. Therefore it (DataStage) needs to have the client software installed.

How about "the no. of columns in the source file will become the no. of rows in the target file" in the original post? That sure looks like a pivot requirement to me. Prior to the Pivot stage you can introduce a new column that contains the field names (which become column 1 in your output). Derive ...
