Learn about the UNIX umask command. Put umask 002 (recommended) or umask 000 (to give 777 permission, but not recommended) into the dsenv script. The preferred approach, however, is to create a group for the project, and to add authorized users to that group. In this way, the whole world does not re...

Check that the file has more than two lines before even attempting to process it. Add a reject link to the Sequential File stage to handle attempt to read empty file (that does not match metadata).

Welcome aboard.

"First line is column names" is incompatible with reading multiple files. You could, of course, use a Filter command to ignore the first line of each file before streaming the resulting lines into your job design.

My guess is that D_CRT is not nullable and has no default value, so that when an upsert statement (particularly an insert statement) affects it, null is attempted to be used as the default value, which is illegal.

This requires a classic fork-join design (though, once you're on version 8.5, you may be able to use looping constructs in the Transformer stage).
One side of the fork (Copy stage) leads to an Aggregator stage that performs the required calculation. The two streams are then united using a Join stage.
