They are 32bit by default and via the GUI. The only way to get one created 64bit is via the command line. Or you can convert an existing one as you noted.

That's good and sounds proper for a Server job so far. More questions - did you import the metadata from the XML itself or from an xsd? Do you have any kind of XML tool there that can validate the file you've been sent, that it is correct and "well formed" because if it's not you'll have n...

I'm not really sure what a "variable length packed decimal field" would mean. Can you provide examples?

0x20 is the value for APT_STRING_PADCHAR. i have already tried with all space removing function...but its not resolving. Of course not. You've said these are CHAR fields and based on the 0x20 value you are using, you want them padded with a space so that's exactly what is happening. You can trim th...

@chullet, in the column tabs i have 42 columns and in the query also i have 42 columns mentioned. I cross checked the query, i have 41 '?' and 1 sequencename.Nextval... So, the query is correct. No, this proves that the query is incorrect and is not set up as I said it must be. You have 42 columns ...

No, it's UtilityRunJob. DSRunJob is the function that you'd use in a BASIC job control routine and what a Sequence job uses in the code it generates. You could, of course, write something that leveraged that in a similar manner but why bother when UtilityRunJob does all that automagically for you? :...

There is a UtilityRunJob() function that will do that for you. You can search here or in your local documentation for that name to find the syntax, usage examples, etc.

Not positive, but you may need to use a Server job for this... I'm sure someone can confirm/deny.

Well... maybe now that people know you're still having the issue, someone will come forward with advice. In the meantime, I'd still open a case and see what they might have to say on the issue.
