It is perfectly feasible; a file exported from Windows can be imported when connected to a server built on UNIX. During job development be careful not to do anything "Windows" that won't work on UNIX. For example, build pathnames with a parameter for the directory and a forward slash as th...

What indicator? Basically, multiply by -1 if the indicator is set to "negative". Positive decimals don't have sign - you would need to change the data type to string if you want to prepend "+", which you could do with a Convert() function. Convert(" ", "+", In...
