Trim(many spaces) always returns one space, not none. This is documented behaviour. There are other functions for removing spaces.

Why not you can include the parameter set in the sequence? Because the parameter set has to be determined dynamically. I would put this logic into a Routine, and use the return value from that routine to provide the value to the job parameter or update the values file of the Parameter Set that the ...

Does the indicated session number show up in web console? If so, disconnect that one.

Worst case, re-start all services.

Why "using Transformer"? Surely an Aggregator is the correct stage type to get a minimum value. You could also sort the data by date and use a Remove Duplicates to keep only the minimum. There's also a flaw in your logic. I have get the min date of ColA and compare it to all the dates in C...

It must be documented somewhere - I don't make this stuff up! Maybe it was on the Advanced DataStage training materials. I really can't remember - it may have been "what's new in version 7.5" material!
