There were vague mentions of a "DataStage lite" (their spelling) at last year's IOD conference. That's all I have. Don't ask.

7.5.anything where anything does not include "x" is a UNIX release. It's also a Windows release, but one that does not support compilation or execution of parallel jobs (though they can be designed). You would be very lucky to get Information Server on a DVD. IBM has a strong preference to...

A sequence.

A sequencer only makes an "any" or "all" decision about whether its inputs have fired. It's a component in a sequence.

Every active stage has three phases of execution: "startup", "per row" and "shutdown". Operations like "truncate" or "clear" occur during the startup phase - you wouldn't really want them done per row, would you?!! The usual solution is two jobs, as ...

Routines are executed synchronously in the same process as the sequence itself. That is, the sequence waits for a routine to finish before moving on to any other activity.

Placing the routines in separate sequences obviates that wait in the master sequence.

No.

ASCII stops at 127.

ISO8859-1 (sometimes called "extended ASCII") stops at 255.

There is therefore no "ASCII equivalent" to ┐ character.

Do you have NLS enabled?

AHA!!!!! For some reason changes wrought in the Administrator client are (silently) not being saved in the DSParams file, even though I am the owner of that file with rwx access. Making the changes to DSParams using vi resolved the compilation problem. Now I have a different problem to look at, why ...

All calls through the UV and ODBC stages use BCI functions under the covers. The uvodbc.config file tells whether it is a UniVerse or an ODBC data source - in the former case it is not necessary to use an ODBC driver because the process is already connected to the "UniVerse" database. Only...
