Code: Select all

RESIZE hashedfile * * * [ USING pathname ] 
will pack up any free space in groups and release blocks on the free chain back to the operating system. You do need a pointer in VOC to the hashed file to use RESIZE in this form.

When any Repository table gets corrupted one of the first likely causes to check is space on the project directory's file system. Even if the disk full condition was transient, you still have a corrupted file, which may or may not be repairable. Search the forum for fixtool. Otherwise clearing the R...

Any format you like - include a TO_DATE() function as part of your WHERE clause, with an appropriate date picture for your chosen format.

In an expression you can not use statements. The conditional expression (IF test THEN value ELSE value) is an expression; it must always return a value and must, therefore, always have both a THEN part and an ELSE part.

The IF statement is only available in Routines.

The link row counts will be the number of rows sent by DataStage to the database. If any insert or update fails, the row count is not decremented.

As far as I can recall, there are some functions explicitly for working with Raw data. Check documentation for Modify stage, and look in the conversion functions in Transformer stage expression editor.

As far as I can remember, you use either the {} or the CALL syntax, not both, when calling a stored procedure via ODBC. Some drivers/databases only accept one syntax, some accept both.

Since it's in the position of an identifier (column name in this case) try double quotes around the parameter reference, making it a "delimited identifier".
