No. VOC. VOC is vital. If you don't have a VOC you have major problems.

There was a post once about recovering a project where VOC had been hosed. It wasn't pretty, but it was done. Perhaps you could search for that.

I think it wants to see

Code: Select all

SELECT * 
FROM
TABLE_XYZ
WHERE
ARRG_ID = ORCHESTRATE.ARRG_ID
AND ARGFIN= ORCHESTRATE.ARGFIN

After GoSub RunNTCmd there is nothing to prevent your code falling through the RunNTCmd code again.

You can count the lines and total the lengths as the row passes through your ETL design, aggregate these as required and create a new row for each in your audit table.

WHAT errors? Without knowing that, it's impossible to advise.
