A job can't be run unless it has been successfully compiled, and this error is being thrown at run time. Therefore this is NOT a compilation problem.

Combinability mode governs the extent to which operators will be combined into fewer processes. By default DataStage does this aggressively, which may be sub-optimal. But it is not relevant to the question running in this thread. If you don't know where/how to compile in trace mode, then I daresay y...

Search for information about dsexport command.

Search also for information about istool command (IBM Information Server Manager) if you are running version 8.1 or later.

Another possibility is that the job has been compiled in trace mode with sequential mode execution enforced.

The most accurate way is to subtract years and multiply by 12, subtract months, and adjust depending on whether the anniversary of the base date has or has not already passed in the test date's year.

@DATE gives the better performance, because it's set when the job starts and does not change thereafter. Date(), on the other hand, accesses the system clock to give the current date - which may be different than when the job started, particularly in an "always running" job. So what is it ...
