If you want to know what jobs were actually called (which is a function of the logic within the job sequence) the best place to look is the log for the job sequence itself. The penultimate entry - apart from entries relating to auto-purge of the job log - is a summary of the sequence run.

Pattern matching in server jobs uses neither SQL wildcards, which your examples use, nor regular expressions. Instead they have their own idiosyncratic patterns, which you can read about in the DataStage BASIC manual. To get you started, the "any" wildcard is either "0X" or "..." and the single char...

It's a problem that you're remembering the old days (Prime), when the "" in the OPEN statement was necessary. If my memory serves it was made optional in about version 6 of Prime INFORMATION.

Waiting for nibble to respond with code and call before chasing any red herrings.

I don't think hostname is stored at the project level; only at the server level (unless you count the project's record in UV.ACCOUNT and UV_SCHEMA as being at the project level). You can always retrieve the hostname using the operating system hostname command, probably via a call to DSExecute subrou...

You've only answered some of the questions I asked in an endeavour to diagnose what's happening. Please post the actual SELECT statement, and the results when the output from this query is directed into a text file. At least for a few rows. And post the precision and scale of the decimal data types....

There's no Trunc() function in DataStage BASIC. What is the source? What is the query that extracts data? Capture exactly what's coming from source, into a text file. Verify that the expected values are being delivered. Check the precision and scale of all the decimal numbers. What are the data type...

You are missing initializing the surrogate key value with the result of SELECT MAX(Skey) FROM targettable
You then ADD the generated integer to this value.
