You should not need an IF expression. Initialize the stage variable to the partition number, and increment by the number of partitions. This sequence is guarantee to be unique across all partitions.

It's an alert. It tells you that there is a possibility that a number arriving as a dfloat may not fit into an sfloat. If you are 100%, totally, absolutely certain that your numbers will never be larger than sfloat's maximum size, then you can either change the upstream data type to sfloat or implem...

Find out the cause of failure and implement steps that prevent it.

If the only change is the Oracle patch then there's your culprit. But be very, very certain that that IS the only change. Have data volumes increased?

You're programming a computer (albeit by drawing pictures). It will do whatever you tell it to do. Ideally, what you program will accurately reflect what the business analysts specified.
