Unless something has changed that I'm not aware of, the advice I've seen here is to use a Server job and its sequential file stage, that or use it in a Server Shared Container in your PX job. For whatever reason, it can handle those embedded quotes much more better than the Parallel version can.

Without access to the latest version, the typical answer for a "basic one single tab" would be simply another csv file. Excel will automatically open them as a spreadsheet, it would be up to the user to save it back as an xls. You may be able to leverage ODBC for this, there are UNIX drive...

You should be importing the metadata for your source and target, then loading them into the stage, that way you don't have to manually type them in. And then yes, the source stage can automatically generate the SQL at runtime from the metadata. I have no DataStage access and it's been way too long b...
