FILENAME = @NULL is invalid. You can use either ISNULL(FILENAME) or FILENAME = @NULL.STR

Using REMOVE rather than DCOUNT and a FOR loop would be more efficient.

The BASIC Call Interface emulates ODBC API and does not support other protocols (such as OCI). You'd be easier to create the statement and invoke it via sqlplus called through the DSExecute subroutine.

I'd envisage a double-nested If..Then..Else as the right way to solve this one.

If the source and reference data have a common key, then you can build a temporary table of the source data keys, and extract the reference data from that joined to the actual reference data, thereby processing only the reference records that are actually needed.

It's probably a timing issue between the two jobs. Place them in a sequence with a dependency on job1 completing successfully before job2 is triggered. Make sure, too, that both jobs refer to the same Data Set descriptor file.
