All DSX files are saved on the Windows client. Therefore one would expect that the line terminators are DOS-style. Inspection with a hex editor verifies that this is the case, at least on my client machine. Have you found something different?

int32 is a signed 32-bit integer.

If you don't want signed numbers, uint32 is an unsigned 32-bit integer.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. (9 * 0) will always be 0. IsValid() always returns true for "string" (unless the value is null).

The rules won't have changed, but there's probably a newer version of the header file that you need to include.

The error message suggests otherwise. Maybe you have a VarChar column in which the precision (length) field has not been filled in at all, somewhere in the job.

Well done.

Guess what commands Cleanup Resources uses on the server side?

That's right: LIST.READU, UNLOCK and PORT.STATUS - all of which are also under the covers of the DS.TOOLS menu.

Server jobs don't really have data types at all, just three data classes - numeric, non-numeric (string) and null. Numeric is quite flexible, and includes "scientific notation" e.g. 6.023E23 for exponents up to maybe 38. So even if your source number is too large to be an integer, a server...
