Crazy if you don't. But not mandatory. Sometimes warning messages will be thrown if a file with a suffix is ".ds" does not contain a Data Set descriptor.

Designer is a multi-document interface, so you can have more than one job design open at once and run only one of those.

On the other hand, if you have two data flows in one job, there is no way to run just one of those unless you include parameterized constraints in each flow.

The descriptor file IS the control file. There's one of that. As well you get one or more "segment files" per processing node. When you use the Data Set Management tool, and select one of the nodes in the top grid, then the segment file(s) on that node are displayed on the bottom grid (&qu...

As a Routine argument.

Or within your function using DSGetParamInfo(), but that will only work while the routine is being run from a job.

What are your data types?

Trim() function has options to strip from either or both sides.

Convert() would not be appropriate because it would also take out embedded zeroes.

"~" is the highest code point in the ASCII range. So any ASCII string larger than ten of these must have more than ten ASCII characters. This is an expression that the Filter stage will accept.
