In general, they do work just fine. It's just that, once in a great while, it will break for a particular job. When it does, nothing short of changing the parameter type to 'String' seems to help. It's... very odd.

Really? I'll have to double-check as I don't recall seeing that. It would be nice, as I too have seen this problem. You aren't doing anything wrong, it's just a plain old B-U-G that's been around for several versions now. No clue what triggers it, but when it happens it can be extremely frustrating ...

Yup, said that.

Didn't have a clue about the "idiosyncratic malloc" issue, will have to keep that in mind if I ever contemplate loading GCI functions.

But you can use an expression in the Key value field. A simple If-Then-Else expression can put the link data into the key if is "not empty", otherwise it can use a default value to do the lookup. Or you could do this in two lookups to the same hash, one using row data in the keys and one using defau...

And '000' is a null. Some options interpret that to mean "I don't want this", but not the Padding character in the Sequential file stage.

That wasn't the question asked.

Perhaps two words: Yes But.

Your teapot seems to be running at a rolling boil today, Ken.

As you said, I'm sure that by "multiple instances" they either meant multiple projects and/or multiple servers.

Starting witn 7.x it is possible to run simultaneous server instances. You need to manipulate the "id" associated with them... whatever it is called. You know, the thing that defaults to "ade". That and the port for the dsrcpd daemon.

It's been discussed before, I think most recently at ADN. It can be done, is a little on the painful side and would typically involve different versions of the server running at any one time. The question would be why you are looking at doing this? If you state what it is you are trying to accomplis...

What is not needed? If that's the answer to my qestion, then... ok, cool.

On the subject of stage variables, perhaps this post will help.

Just as an FYI for those in our studio audience using Oracle as their database of choice, there is actual "Full Outer Join" syntax available in 9i:

Interesting. That... shouldn't have mattered. It still should have been able to find it. Unless you've got something else called ATTRIB that it found in a directory before the system32 directory was looked in. Or there was something wrong with the syntax of that entry before you moved it, but that w...

Well, I would think two things would help here. The Pivot stage to do the 'interesting' pivoting you are doing. That and a pair of Stage Variables. One that you would increment based on Customer ID changes and another to hold the old value so you could know when it changed. In that order. Would "100...
