Not to mention the lack of detailed instructions on how to move the mouse. :wink: My guess is that they hurried these out the door so they could have something that they could do in time in the nine supported languages. Even then, not every manual has been translated to every one of those. It's no c...

Your question is too vague? WHICH end date? The end date of the offer period, certainly. Any other end date, doubtful.

Compare With...

The Compare against... and Cross Project Compare utilies in version 8 are nice, but the former would be even nicer if a comparison could be made between an export file and the (corresponding components in the) current project.

How much of the browser window opens? For example, do you get the IBM product bar at the top of the page? Do you get the user/password dialog? If you get further than that, how far?

On what operating system and at what service pack level is your DataStage client installed? There is a (necessary) patch called something like xpsp2 available from your support provider if it's Windows XP service pack 2.

It does not discuss RCP at all. Rather, it is a systematic method that proceeds from design through making sure that your metadata are all in place before job design starts, then getting your design together in such a way that it can at any point in time be taken over by someone else - this involves...

Arnd is talking about columns - why are you talking about lines? His point is that you must correctly identify the column in which the "A margin" - where the 01 level items occur - is. Based on your example, I believe that this should be 2.
