Not really, unless you can show us how the v_... variables and the ReportText variable get their values. DSLogWarn requires two arguments. There's no value trying to close a file if you failed to open it. The variable "t.fvar" is what's called a "file variable" or "file handle" - effectively a point...

It's used internally in DataStage to identify distinct runs of a job (for example the reset run from the prior aborted run). It provides only uniqueness. You get no information from it.

Welcome aboard. :D The message is "unable to open hashed file LOG_PRE_DAILY_BAL_DUP_HASH4". Can you prove to us (with an ls -l listing, for example) that this hashed file exists and that you have appropriate permission to open it?

Knowledge of data is required here. I read between the lines of the original specification. Technically you also need to take into account AD/BC and dates beyond 9999-12-31 (to avoid introducing Y10K problems). Are you rigorous in this also?

The message is "login failed". This means that connection was made to SQL Server, but your authentication information (user ID and password) were not valid. I don't see any mention of a password in the connection string.

Does this occur reliably or occasionally? Is there a pattern - for example does it occur for some values of job number in RT_LOGnnnn and not for other values?

Why are you using UNNEST (normalizing on FULL.TEXT)? I don't think it's necessary for selecting.

There's no simpler way given that you've chosen to use a routine rather than the Job Activity to run the job.

Do you have one column or more than one column making up the primary key?

What I said before stands; a hashed file will not accept null as a primary key value. If all of the key columns are null, the record will be rejected.
