This language first appeared in the 1960s, when a four byte integer was a HUGE number. Most of the numeric functions expect four byte integers. Another example is the bit functions, like BITAND(), BITOR() and BITXOR().

Convert the date to a string. Subtract 1 from the year. Subtract 1 from the day if the date is 02-29. Convert the string into a date. Make sure that the year is not 0001, which requires special handling.

Try using Runtime Column Propagation and look at what DataStage produces. You should be seeing records containing subrecords made up of the input records (which explains the braces). You have to be particularly careful of nullable fields.
