Forgive me... it's 5:30 in the morning, the coffee isn't ready yet and I haven't had much sleep... but I think what you'll find is that it isn't DataStage that is case sensitive, just UNIX.

Ah... that's what BOM stands for. Duh. :wink: There are many resources available online regarding the conversion from one 'endian' to another, for example this one. I'm wondering how the file gets 'downstream' from the Linux system, perhaps this transfer mechanism (something like Connect:Direct I im...

That's one pretty big "just". Did you confirm before this went forward that your version of DataStage is certified to run on/with those?

If you were on a UNIX system I would suggest checking to see that your kernel parameters are all properly set as it sounds like something is on the low side. No clue how that translates over to the Windows side of the world. :(

Short answer? Yes. Assuming none of the derivations are 'global' or could be used across multiple fields or easily combined. It's about style and readability, I'd use as many stage variables as it took with self-documenting names in order to make the cooking up of something complex much easier to un...

Well... still obviously some kind of codeset issue, though I couldn't tell you what you got there on the LINUX side. For both input and AIX, this: "f1f0 f6f1 e3c1 40d4 4040 f0f0 f0f5 f0f0" = "1061TA M 00500" This, the alleged equivalent on the LINUX side: "bfef efbd bdbf bfe...
