run-time error when exporting job executable

Hi All,

Would like to know if anybody out there has ever experienced an automation error (run-time error -457) when exporting job executables in manager? We tried moving the designs to a new project, compile then export executable but still it happens. If exporting a folder with 1 job, the windows appears, then clicking on the question mark button triggers the error. Does this have to do with the number of jobs we have for the project? Tried also to rebuild the indexes but with no luck.

Really appreciate any help here.

Thanks.

Dumb question: Did you run out of diskspace for the directory where you are extracting the .DSX file onto?

Nope, its not a disk space problem. Its acutally a bug in datastage, we managed to work this out already. There were some jobs that have the same name but different cases, DS server allows this but the export executable job window list does not, meaning its not case sensitive when it creates the keys for the list (list box control properties). An ecase has already been opened for this bug.
