All kinds of ways to skin this cat, as they say.

Typically the next question would be "How do I build the list of filenames?" and the typical answer there would be to use a User Variables Activity stage to execute a UNIX command to list the files. From what I recall, the "ls -m <pattern>" option would create a comma delimited l...

What you are looking for is a looping Sequence job. The Sequence job would leverage the Start Loop and End Loop stages to iterate through a delimited "list of things" and in this case your list would be a list of filenames. Inside the loop would be your file processing job and it would be ...

So all you had to do was wait three days for that last one percent?

See if this helps: connect to the dbc. If it doesn't, run more searches for your error message. Worst case involve support.

AKA the Current Working Directory for a running job. AKA not a good place to put them.

Found this support technote that mentions your error, are you on AIX by chance?

No idea but... how large is this 'entire record'?

Now it is working... because you did what to correct it?

It's been years since I've worked with dbf files, so no... other than to suggest you take a closer look at the 7 that work and the 8 that don't and compare them. Something is obviously different between them.

That's too bad as it means we don't have that diagnostic information. If the other information that Ray and I posted don't help, involve your official support provider.

In your example? Never, I'm afraid.

vReference will change in value when you change it, when you assign it a new value. And that can only happen in its own derivation.

Not neglected but rather rejected since they did not match the metadata. They can either be captured via a reject link and processed separately or in your case you should check into the "Reject Mode" property of the stage, see if one there would help with this.

The Parallel Job Developer's Guide has an excellent appendix listing the functions available, including one for returning the "day of week" from any date. Give it a look when you have questions like this.

So not really blank "files". And isn't this the same problem / question as you posted here?
