It would appear remove all occurrences of a double quotes. It also has a lot of extra "stuff" in the function call that is not needed. Use Notepad or code tags to see: Trim(columnname,("":'"':""),"A") ... and should be equivalent to: Trim(columnname, '&qu...

I'm not sure about 9.1; I skipped that release. Try searching the IBM Knowledge Center on "Workload Management." There is probably a config file you have to edit on the server. I vaguely recall that the feature is off by default on 9.1, whereas it is on by default in 11.3.

In the job that writes to the Data Set stage, experiment with using different numbers of nodes in the config file. How many nodes is it currently running on? You may also want to check with your server administrator and/or storage team, if you have one. Find out exactly how slow those disks are writ...
