Are you asking whether there is any mechanism for preventing jobs from being run independently, only allowing them to run under control? The answer to that is yes. Add a few lines of job control code that detect the name of the job's controller; if there is none, then issue a stop request.

This week Windows, next week UNIX. I'm a self-employed contractor - I don't have my own copy of DataStage (my fees would need to be way higher to afford it). Haven't connected to UniData in some time. However, I do teach IBM classes in both UniVerse and UniData, so I have some idea of what I am sayi...

Try it with dssh rather than uv.

Have you reported this apparent bug through your support provider?

Is any of you who are experiencing this symptom running parallel jobs on a Windows platform? I note that the OP is on UNIX. If on UNIX, can you please post what kind of UNIX (for example AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, etc.)?

Read this post and adapt the advice given there.

I'd certainly suspect the difference in drivers. I'd also be concerned that the versions of DataStage is lower in test (and that 7.0.0 has been through 65 patch releases!!!). I'd recommend upgrading test to the same version as development, so that you're comparing apples with apples.

Welcome aboard. :D Open Director. Make sure you have status view open. If you prefer, right mouse click and filter on Finished jobs only. Uncheck "Categories" from the View menu. This gives all jobs in one screen. Select Print from the Project menu. In the common print dialog check "Print to File". ...

It's almost an impossible problem to solve without writing a routine. You read the entire row as a single string and process it through the routine that has a "WithinQuotes" flag that tells it whether to ignore the comma inside the quotes, and maybe change the real delimiters to something else, such...

Does anyone have any experience running DataStage (7.5.1A ideally) on Windows with Extended Memory Support enabled? If so, does it make any difference? Can DataStage make good use of the expanded memory? (No "in theory" answers, please - I can work them out for myself.)

Yes. Get "them" to deliver you a legal CSV file! Nothing could be easier.

If it's an export from Excel, go for tab-delimited.

Not dirty, just large. You wouldn't gripe at using 76 local variables in a program would you? Then what's wrong with 76 stage variables in a Transformer stage (which become 76 local variables in the generated code)?

It's the string that appears in parentheses in the first line of the logged message.

Sounds like something in column 41 through 49. Perhaps trying to shoehorn N+1 characters into a Char(N) field?
