No, you don't need a "signon" file to make this work. While you could certainly use one, it is not required. You will need to get your syntax correct, however, and the post you linked to had good information on the subject in addition to what's already here. Did you try adding the "-d...

Either of those approaches can be made to work, but why run a job in a before-job subroutine? That's what Sequence jobs are for.

If you know the maximum possible number of values, it's a horizontal pivot of rows to columns using the Pivot stage. First break that one field out into multiples, pivot and then remove any null values from the result.

Job names are unique, it knows. Use the syntax others have posted, don't make stuff up. And lastly... yes. Provided you get everything else right, of course.

dsjob uses the project name and job name, do not supply any category information. And without one of the "wait" options it will just start the job and exit back to the command line.

:? If you say so. Iconv converts the date into an internal format, which is an integer value representing the number of days past the zero date. You really need OConv to get it back to the valid external format that your post shows - unless your target is a database column. Some will accept that int...

Something like this:

Code: Select all

OConv(IConv(Convert("_","",YourDate),"DYMD"),"D/MDY[2,2,4]")

If we're talking Oracle here, spaces get trimmed and you still end up with a null in the target. For that, add $APT_ORACLE_PRESERVE_BLANK to your job and set it to True.

Why not make sure you are current on patches, get that possibility off the table? IBM will want you to have done that first before you go to them for any help.

Code: Select all

stageVar = (if check1 = 1 then col1 else '') : (if check2 = 1 Then col2 else '') : (if check3 = 3 then col3 else '')

That log is corrupted, most likely from it having "too many" records in it. An exact search for "computed blink of" will turn up many conversations on the topic and the solutions you have.
