That's exactly the kind of thing QualityStage does well. You can use your xxPREP rule set to lump absolutely every element into domain-specific single fields, and have the domain-specific rule sets (xxNAME, xxADDR, xxAREA) process these.

It would be possible off the old logs, assuming you either have not purged the logs or that you have archived them. The start date/time and end date/time are easily extracted, and some sort of "between" comparison performed. As Craig notes, if you have ETLstats or something similar, the in...

DB2INSTANCE is not part of DataStage unless you make it so (for example by including it into the dsenv script).
