Use stage variable to remember the earlier row and to generate the running total. Make it the same data type as the output column, which must be compatible with the data type of Amount. Initialize the stage variable to 0.

Code: Select all

svCumulative = svCumulative + svprevAmount

ODBCINI is not a mandatory environment variable. If present it is on the server. Access Windows environment variables through Control Panel > System

It won't be managed automatically by DataStage. Taking the more general view there are many different ways for identifying deltas, and not everyone uses the same column name(s) for the column(s) that identify the deltas, so there's no automation possible.

First confirm that you have the correct job number. Can you see the job in Director? If so, you can clear the log and status files from there. You should never clear the config file. This contains the dependencies between the objects in the job. And you haven't mentioned other files, like RT_BP488, ...

If the services machine is different from the machine on which your project lies, then you're using at least a three-tier topology (since you're on UNIX and the client tier must be on Windows).

What is the data type of the source and of the target?

Date data type is stored in a binary format, and does not have a format.

If you're reading from a string and writing to a string, convert from string to date and then back to string, each time with an appropriate format specification.
