After calling the COMMON JOB, I am calling a Routine but is now returning me 0 rows, even when the job does show more than 0 rows were s...

So you mean

(1) Open Job and "CHECK" Allow Multiple Instances under Paramter Tab.
(2) In Sequencer from where the Job is called Pass the "Table Name" to
Invocation ID under Job Activity stage

Will this address my requirement?

Below is the complete flow. (1) Job 1 reads a text source and loads a temporary Teradata Table. (2) Job 2 reads the Temporary Table and saves row count to a text file. (3) If Text file in Job 2 has more than 0 rows, it runs a BTEQ script to process rows from temporary table otherwise it terminates. ...

(1)
Is there a list that explains what characters of mainframe (EBCDIC) will NOT be converted properly.

(2)
Is there a way to solve this in Parallel Job?

(3)
Can Server Job is used to convert instead?

Yes I can very well do that. The only problem is if the columns I have to make into rows is too much then I will have too many transformers. Pivot will work best for me.
