Running jobs slow down the response time on the node that houses the job repository. The increase in jobs may be an indication that more work is being done on the server, and thus response time decreases. If no one is executing jobs, then the response time opening a Designer session should be reason...

No, write a DS function to do the work on a passed string. Something like this should work:

Code: Select all

StrLen=LEN(Arg1)
Ans = ""
For i=1 to StrLen
  Ans := SEQ(Arg1[i,1])
Next i

Please verify the table is truly ...

No matter what, you need a cross-reference between position in the csv file and the code. Since position 1 is Spanish, 2 is English, 3 is Hindi, 4 is Kurdish, etc, you should create a table for maintenance purposes. In this table, I suggest you have the position number, text name, and language code....

Look at the mkdbfile command that is issued when a DataStage job creates a hashed file. Add 64BIT to the end of the syntax line and you'll get the same file only with 64BIT addressing. Just put that mkdbfile line into your jobstream and execute when appropriate. :wink:

Using a Sequencer a Routine stage can call your script, or in Batch a CALL DSExecute(...) will return the screen output and return code of the script. Choose your weapon.

I've not seen this issue, I guess you'll have to wait for Ray Wurlod or Kim Duke to answer, they're the experts on the internals. There's nothing special with the filenames. If it's just this one name, it could be that there's a Windoze lock on the filename, or potentially if it's an internal hashed...
