DSXchange

Well... of course!

I'm not sure that this is something that someone 'new to DS and Basic' should be attempting, snippet or no snippet. Is there anyway to build what you need through the GUI - i.e. as a Sequencer job? It may not need to behave exactly as you've outlined in your post, and will be easier to maintain and ...

This isn't all that complicated, guys. You do not need a Job Parameter and you can use the macro directly in the 'File name' field of the Sequential File stage. The only odd thing is you must wrap it in pound/hash signs as if it were a Job Parameter. So, try... E:\OutputFiles\MergeFile#DSJobInvocati...

In other words - just write to it. Hashed files are "destructive overwrite", meaning that when multiple records are written with the same key into the hashed file, each completely replaces the previous version. Therefore, last one in wins. That should also lead you to understand that there is no way...

User identities are not created in DataStage at all. I was wondering when that little tidbit was going to get mentioned. There really isn't any such thing as a 'DataStage user'. There is, nonetheless, lots of sage advice in the previous posts. Agreed - and scripts to boot! Best sage advice of all -...

Yes

Hey - it's not always Ray that answers.

Which is why - IMHO - that one should do things using the 'proper' tool. In spite of the fact that you can do these things from inside Designer nowadays, I espouse use of the Manager for the operations noted above and the Director for the actual running of jobs. Of course, that could just be the 'ol...

You're right, this was a CompileAll and a CompileAllPlus from what I recall. Should still be out around there somewhere...

Yes!

Available in 7.0? Yes. Below? No.

Doesn't really matter - put the whole command in the Command box or split it between them as you think is appropriate. As far as I know, it just sticks the two halves together and then runs the result.

And no - no 'prefix' needed.
