Sequence jobs are agnostic and apply to both products, so are perfectly fine being posted about here.

Yup, you can always take that approach as long as you don't mind parsing out all of the individual columns for each piece yourself. Pretty sure the CFF stage will automate all that.

Thanks Chuck. You can also consider something like a 'check-point' system, one that records the most recent commit point as the job runs in a flat file, for instance. At completion of the job the file is deleted. Before starting the job the file is checked and - if it exists - that number is passed ...

Are you trying to ask if it is EBCDIC or has packed fields in it? That would help make the case for using the CFF stage, but its use cer...

Or... yet another DataStage job!
