It's difficult to say - you haven't really supplied enough information for diagnosis. For example, have you specified a partitioned table? If so, do you have the requisite SELECT privilege on the system tables?

Separation should match your hardware - that is, be a small whole multiple of your disk/memory page size.

As a guideline, try to get 5-9 records per group. More if they are very small records.

No index is created on the key. Hashing algorithm is much faster than using an index. Indexing key columns individually will only help if you run queries against the hashed file in which the report is constrained (or sorted) on those individual columns - in short, generally the answer is cost but no...

If you know in which fields the line terminator occurs, just mark those columns "contains line terminator" in the Columns grid. DataStage will do the rest.

I prefer to add them from the GUI, only because the rules test utility is right there on the same menu.

Other than that there's little to choose between them.

Verify that they are really space characters. Convert() should definitely be able to eliminate them. Trim() should also remove redundant white space.

Think of the 80% as "headroom". It allows for some degree of variation in how full each individual group buffer is, and thereby some protection against groups overflowing - one of the main vulnerabilities for file corruption. It is similar to, but not the same, as SPLIT.LOAD for dynamic hashed files.
