To use QualityStage you would either need to adapt the xxAREA rule set (make a copy, since the original is read-only) or create a new rule set. But what is "standardize" in this context? I'd plump for using DataStage, since there are really only two formats - decimal degrees or degrees, minutes and ...

They are NOT "boxes or brackets" - that's just how the tool you are using to display them represents those particular code values. View Data in DataStage is notoriously bad at displaying non-ASCII characters - it usally just gives up and displays "?" to indicate unmappable character. You need to fin...

Of course, this does not include any hashed files you may have created on other file systems for server jobs or any disk and scratch disk resources you have on other file systems for parallel jobs. Totalling all of these presupposes good record keeping.

(In version 8) you can simply right click when testing the match specification and look at the individual field weights.

I'd have to research how to do it in version 7.5 and earlier, but recall that it can be generated in one of the reports.

Time to mark the thread as Resolved then, and for Craig and I to accept some scorn for not spotting that. The tokens in the string must match the tokens in the template (for example "from:" must match "%from%".

Well done.
