In other words, don't make up the metadata unless you have no other choice, especially for data types that you're not that familiar with. Let the tool do that work for you.

As noted, it depends on both what you consider to be "numeric" and the nature of the data to be checked. Can you be more specific? Post some examples of both "good" and "bad" data in the field.

Singleton schedules use "at" on UNIX, it's only recurring schedules (like 'every') that use "cron".

Since the dsx is really just a sequential file, you could always do two exports and examine them for any differences based on your choices. :wink: As far as I know, if you've included the "designs" then you don't need to include the program sources as they are synonymous. Seems to me that ...

You... define it as a parameter and "pass" it. Not really sure what your issue might be here, can you elaborate on what you've tried and what issues you've had? :?

Also let us know where / how you are running this job, that can affect the answer as to how exactly this is done.

Actually, from what I understand, while the 8.x release does an "itag installation" it does not support having multiple versions installed on the same server. Unlike previous releases, it is "one and done" on any given box. Unless, as you're thinking, this is now possible. Be cur...
