I was able to find a workaround: 1. Change target column in Transformer to CHAR(9) 2. Add the derivation "DecimalToString(Lnk_read_from_source.FO_PRO_PCT)" 3. Let the Teradata database do the implicit conversion from CHAR(9) to DECIMAL(7,7) Job runs perfectly now. I will mark this thread a...

So far, the best solution we have is for the DBA to hard-code the collecti...
