The only solution is GET IT RIGHT.

The SQL must refer to precisely the correct number of columns with correct (compatible) data types as are specified in the stage's metadata.

ODBC Enterprise stage. The only restrictions are the usual ones - you have to use the correct ODBC quote character (which the stage can retrieve for you at design time) and you must conform to ODBC standards, for example limits on table and column name lengths. The latter can be resolved with aliase...

Welcome aboard. You don't understand the DataStage repository, nor the query environment. Your first query created an active Select List which effectively invalidated your second query.
