Not sure the timestamp is really going to help you chunk this up, why not look into something like the UNIX split command?

Forget about 'View Data', what happens when you actually run the job and look at the output outside of DataStage? And please clarify what exactly your target is - you've never said.

Recent versions of DataStage add a mechanism (system variable?) to detect the last record in your input along with some other useful ones. Off the top of my head I don't recall their exact names. This to avoid having to add any kind of 'dummy' row.

Why that requirement? XML does not need any 'formatting', that is strictly for peoples. You have two options in DataStage - formatted (and you've seen what that looks like) or unformatted where the data in the file is one long record, basically just a stream of characters. You should be able to stic...

We want to make sure you understand that simply writing to a file with an extension of ".html" does not get you an HTML file, there's more to it than that. And with no such thing as an HTML Output stage, you have to do all of the heavy lifting yourself inside the job.

Not tedious but rather How It Works. That's why they are there.
