Example: did you use user-defined SQL at some point then revert to generated SQL (or vice versa). Both are stored, both are exported into the DSX file even though only one is used.

Returning to the original question, the first problem is knowing what "properly loaded" means. Come up with a definition of that, and you will almost certainly, as a by-product, come up with a means of verifying that it has occurred. Converting that means into DataStage componentry is wher...

There is no limit on the number of stage variables until you run out of memory. I have seen jobs with a couple of hundred stage variables (legitimately) that worked fine.

OK, you're probably going to need a fairly complex expression to effect the conversion from local time to UTC if the solution needs to be general, or use a constant offset for a limited result. (Incidentally, how is Indian Standard Time (4.5 hours offset) represented?) The rest should just be decomp...

Which ISO standard specifies that format? What is "0Z"?

ISO 8601 (date and time formats) specifies YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS with optional fractional seconds for a timestamp).

Conversion is only relevant if the target is a string data type.
