Internal quotes in job parameters tend to get stripped when passed into the job unless escaped properly, which usually happens when people try to pass in SQL. For example, this string could be problematical: where ColumnA = 'Fred' and ColumB = 'Ginger' You may end up with this instead: where ColumnA...

Do you have access to that project from Director? That should show you that information from the most recent run. From UNIX you'd have to use dsjob with the various "-log" options to fish out that information.

Sure, have DataStage run a script that does the sftp or scp transfer. You will, however, need to set up the proper RSA keys between hosts so this will work in a 'secure' manner. Have that conversation your SysAdmin.

One doesn't, only a moderator (or I guess a 'content editor' <waves to Andy>) can actually move posts which is why I asked them to re-post it. And for whatever it is worth, I've stopped replying to posts that are in egregiously incorrect forums... I mean, how hard is it to get that right? Or at leas...
