No, you will need to adapt it. Your number is in seconds, the function expects an argument in days. (There are, in general, 86400 seconds in a day, so a simple division will suffice.)

Is this the only table that contains a date/time/timestamp column? Does the problem happen every run, or only once?

Create a server routine that can wait for *.* or timeout, and use a Routine activity rather than a Wait For File activity.

If the data are coming from a database table, you can include an ORDER BY clause in the extraction SQL. If the data are coming from a file you can use an operating system level sort utility to sort that file - you can do that in a before-job subroutine as mentioned or in a Filter command to the Sequ...

... which is what dsjob -ljobs does.

The advantage of dsjob in this case is that you can create a script to loop through the list of project names on the server.

To get a count, simply pipe the output into a wc -l command.

Resolve the symbol referencing errors. Somewhere in your code exists at least one symbol for which no entrypoint can be found in any of the referenced objects/libraries.

You can not call Transforms from Routines. You must mimic their definition expression instead.

I had assumed that NLS_LANG was OK because you could access Japanese data in other tables satisfactorily.
