Re: Lookup using DataSet

I think the best piece of advice is to stop trying to build PX jobs like they were Server jobs on steriods. Unless you have some complex bit of lookup data that several processes need to leverage then just do the lookup against the data itself rather than building datasets like they were some kind o...

First thing - typing in all caps is considered SHOUTING so please knock that off. There's no need to shout.

Secondly, show us. Post the 'calculation' you are using and the precise datatypes involved and then show us the 'in correct' values you are seeing. Then maybe someone can help you.

Honestly, if you had "handled nullability" you wouldn't see this message. Have you tried an exact match search here for your Exporting nullable field without null handling properties message? There are 47 matches out there for it, seems like one or more should provide some useful informati...

Still, based on your example it will need to be sorted by something, be it the Sort stage or your source (if a database) or something on the command line. If you do it in your source database, then you can set the stage to "Don't sort, already sorted" but still use it to create the column ...
