What output do you get for these rows?

Check in the job log to ascertain that parameter values passed to the job by the sequence are as expected.

What error did you get from the compiler when "it wouldn't compile"?

Instead of the angle bracket notation you can use a Field() function which is equivalent (that is, the delimiter is @FM).

Code: Select all

Field(Command_To_Chk_Rejects.$CommandOutput,@FM,1,1) > 0

Can it be made an "auto run" macro that runs when the workbook is opened? Can you invoke a macro as if it were a stored procedure? Just ideas - no idea if they will work.

If the lookup link is serviced by a hashed file, then you can use the NOTFOUND link variable for the reference input link. Otherwise use

Code: Select all

Not(IsNull(RefInput.BISEPS_MI_ID) And (InLink.AS_ANCESTOR > 0)

Safest is to pre-process all the data every time. Think about it. You don't process the same data in production that you do in development. You rarely re-process the same set of data. If the data happen to be sorted and your sample is "the first n% of rows" your range map will be badly wrong. If you...

Welcome aboard. I have never seen this. Try looking at the DOS command AT before you change the schedule and again afterwards, to see whether you can discern what might be happening. I suspect, though, that this will be one for your official support provider. Hang on, does version 8 still use the AT...

Are you confusing reindex with recompile? You should not need to reindex only because you've imported things - index maintenance should be automatic even in this case. Import does not use the bulk loader, so that there's not even any issue of deferred index building to worry about.
