You could use the "uv" program to kill. Just note down the process id in your unix server.

That's interesting! Care to elaborate?

The Abort statement in your routine is getting executed because you are taking the Else clause of OpenSeq. You can take the Else clause of OpenSeq even though you open the file successfully. Search for the OpenSequentialFile routine for documentation. You have not coded for this possibility. Avoid u...

The routine itself has to return the file handle. But you could use the system variable @USER.RETURN.CODE, or one of the system variables @USER0 through @USER4, or the invoking job's user status area, as ways in which to return the flag you require. You could also return the flag through one of the ...

Try View > Refresh. It may or may not work. Otherwise, open a new Manager, which will force the tnsnames.ora file to be re-read.

It does do a lot of logical opens but, as you say, you would hope that many of those would be handled by the rotating file pool. This is the nature of the beast; they need to guarantee that the file is open, even though coming from what is essentially a stateless client. How do you propose to index ...

The warning indicates that there may be longer values in your string than can be accommodated in a decimal of the indicated precision. For example, if the data types are string[16] and decimal[10,0] then you would get this warning. Solution is to get the metadata right, or to pre-empt the possibilit...

Of course, 3 months can be anywhere between 90 and 92 days. Other variations are possible if you're dealing with the years when "they" fiddled with the calendar. A more robust solution would manipulate the month number and, as a possible consequence, the year and day numbers.

Bhavna, it sounds like your attempt at removal has been interpreted as "replace with 0". Try re-loading the metadata from your Repository.
