And the request to shutdown your antivirus for an install is pretty standard Windows stuff nowadays. Not really a hard-and-fast requirement, more of a strong suggestion in case it interferes. It usually doesn't.

Are you looking for a Server or a PX solution? You've posted in the PX forum but marked your post as Server, hence the question.

Here, let me take a wild stab at that. :wink:

Code: Select all

$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H 
vLen=len(Arg1) 
abc=''
For Arg2 = vLen To 1 Step -1 
If Arg1[Arg2,1]="" or Arg1[Arg2,1]=" " 
then 
end 
else 
abc=Seq(Arg1[Arg2,1]):abc 
end  
Next Arg2 
Ans=abc

There's no coversion for that. If you have to use the value from the SDK hashed file, you'll need to use the BASIC Transformer or a Server Shared Container. Are you actively sharing this key source with Server jobs? If not, why not switch to a parallel source like the Surrogate Key Generator stage?
