If not you will need separate Sequential File stages, or the ability to use the Schema File property to load the data one file at a ...

Welcome aboard. Apart from the Derivation Substitution facility for varying expressions, there is no regexp support in the Transformer stage. Try Convert(Convert("0123456789", "", InLink.TheString), "", InLink.TheString) The inner Convert() removes all numeric character...

Also this is not a good long-term strategy, using TCL. From version 8.5 much of what you can currently get using TCL is no longer available by that method, because the metadata are stored in the common metadata repository (XMETA if you called it that).

It can be done in TCL but each job's and each sequence's structural information is stored in a separate table, so you'd still need to construct a means of iterating through all job/sequence names in DS_JOBS: a non-trivial task.

Did you try my suggestion of using a text file (or even a Peek stage) to eliminate non-Oracle causes of the problem?

Create a reject link from the stage that is writing the rejects, and send that link into a text file.
