Why not use double quotes as the quote character? Then you don't need to change the single quotes.

All but the last of these can be answered from the UniVerse manuals - I am not sure to which "admin tool" the final question refers.

DataStage originally - through to version 6.0 - was built using UniVerse as its engine as well as its repository database.

I, too, find this description confusing. Are you saying that all dates are loaded with the value 01/01/0011? What are you doing to these dates within the job? Are you using Data Elements in the design? What stage types are you using?

These ARE the commands. That "it doesn't work" is insufficient diagnostic information with which we can work. What does "it doesn't work" mean in this context and what is your proof of your assertion? We don't do "urgent" at DSXchange, which is an all-volunteer forum wh...

You appear to have "#<" in an expression. This "not less than" operator is a synonym for "greater than or equal to" or "GE". Your derivation expression is syntactically invalid. Right click on the expression and choose "Validate Derivation" to get ad...

Generated or user-defined SQL? Inspect the query to see which names in it have double-quotes around column names.

You can store the join result wherever you like. But why not use a Data Set rather than a Sequential File stage? That way your data will retain its partitioning and - if any - sorting.
