The fact that it is an EBCDIC file doesn't stop you from 'preprocessing' the file in UNIX... the 'head' or 'tail' command could care less if it's EBCDIC, ASCII or Sanskrit. Go for it.

They seem to think so - an HP Superdome running HP-UX.

Thanks! I'll be here.

Thanks! I'll be here.

Thanks for all the information, Arnd. This is a one-way-street type algorythm - I just need a way to get it 'compressed' but there is no requirement to 'uncompress' it so we're in luck there. Let me play around with the CRC32 approach you outlined and see how that works out. I'll also double-check t...

Ok... mostly followed all that.

For (a) did you mean cannot contain non-displayable characters?

That's true that a portion of this 'string' would be whitespace as one component is a Business Listing Name. The other fields that are concatenated onto it are either single characters or strings of digits. Curious what the 'simpler' method would be as yes - they will always be printable / displayab...

You cannot simply make a blanket 'yes' statement like this. The client software is Windows based, so must be installed on a ...

There's not a whole lot more to it than checking the box. It's explained in the Designer's Guide pdf manual installed with your client. In the chapter on 'Job Sequences', checkpoint restarts are documented in the General Page portion of the Job Sequence Properties section as well as in the Restartin...

We feel your pain, Ray.

Duh... sorry... I thought we were dealing with a little file, for some reason I read it as 2MB not 2GB.

No problem. You'll find there are alot of IBM peoples who don't know there is such a thing as Redbrick, too!

Could I be doing something wrong? I'm sure that I'm pulling the codes from the link going into the DB2 API stage. If you are pulling the link variables from the correct link, then no - you're not doing anything wrong. As I mentioned earlier, we seem to be at the whim of whomever wrote the stage as ...
