A stored function is selected in a query just like a table column and DataStage doesn't change how any of that works. For your particular function, get whatever syntax you need from whomever you work with, your DBA for instance.

There's a simple solution - don't hijack threads. Start your own thread and link to the other one, something I've done for you here. That way you are in full control of its destiny.

"Fork join" design. Count the number of occurances per key and put that in a hashed file. Stream in the raw data, do the lookup and constrain to the appropriate link based on the looked-up count being 1 or >1.

All that means is your script did not return success, a zero status. What else are you doing in the script besides this ssh command? Have you tried adding any debugging statements to it?

Talk to your SysAdmins about having them add the 'execute' permissions to dsjob your user seems to be missing. Are you sure it's just a permissions problem?

It's not a Server job if you are getting that error. What does your job design look like?

Why is it aborting when you use a parameter? Does the sql include quotes and does it look like the quotes are being stripped out? If so, there's an APT environment variable that may help...

ps. While I'm sure there's a limit, 400 wouldn't be anywhere near it, so the size should be a non-issue.

No clue and obviously not something documented either. Have you asked your official support provider?
