OK, be more specific - "not working" does not convey anything useful. What precise error message is generated (copy/paste it from the job log - don't try to paraphrase or transcribe it).

Which of your stages is Sequential_File_0 ? (Assume rant about non-meaningfully-named stages.) Is it the reading stage or the writing stage? If it's the writing stage, do you have this set to overwrite or append?

As design information this is not stored in a UniVerse table. Indeed it's not stored anywhere at design time. Partitioning is not determined until runtime, when the conductor process composes the score based upon two files: the osh script generated by compiling the job (which makes no mention of par...

An upstream Sort stage that generates a Key Change column and a downstream Remove Duplicates stage are valuable here too.

Using an explicit Sort stage allows YOU to control the resources allocated to sorting and, perhaps, the ability to assert that some or all of the key columns are already sorted/grouped. Relying upon DataStage to insert tsort operators means that you get default allocations, which may not be optimal.
