A poll is a waste of time unless it's going to be used for some sensible purpose. It's probably worth asking how to get DSXchange to break even; right now premium memberships don't even cover the bandwidth costs - we exist through Dennis's financial generosity, and I think it's unreasonable to expec...

Nearly everything is in the RT_SCnnn subdirectory in the project, where nnn is the job number.

Dump and read the score to see what's really to be executed - it may be materially different from your job design.

Less than 30 cents per day, and you want a reduction?!!

It's worth way more than that to a DataStage developer.

Subroutines are EXACTLY THE SAME and are written in DataStage BASIC whether for parallel or server jobs.

Are you asking about functions?
