DSXchange

Puli.reddy, in your first post you stated ...I am facing a problem to read data from fixed width files... and now you are stating that you know the file is not fixed width? If you declare your column definitions correctly and also specify the correct sequential file attributes (column separators, li...

Your file is not fixed-width format or in a different format than you think. In order for it to be fixed width it would need spaces (otherwise your line 1 and line 2 would have different lengths!). It has EOR (end-of-record) terminators and one was encountered while parsing your input data. You need...

Sometimes things get in a state where the service won't start - often when they didn't shut down correctly. The simplest solution would be to restart your Windows server. I think that the timed error message comes when a resource DS needs is not given to it, particularly one of the listener ports. W...

You can try to use a sequential file stage, declare it as a PIC X(9) and use the SDK conversion routine to convert from packed decimal to display to avoid any rounding errors by not using a floating point representation.

Dynamic CPU allocation is handled, but memory re-allocation is not, as it requires specialized calls which DS does not support.

Supernova,

many others have had the same problem and the questions as well as answers have also been posted. The SEARCH facility should be a core part of DSXchange usage as it will locate the answers to your question. I used it to get many responses, including this one.

Kumar, floating point numbers are represented as a number and an integer exponent of e . Since the precision of the number is limited, not all possible real numbers can be correctly represented and by setting the APT_DECIMAL_INTERIM_ROUND_MODE to round to the nearest representable value it is quite ...

The compiled code will have to evaluate all conditions in an IF statement joined by AND before branching; so changing your IF statement to use the most common branches first will reduce the number of instructions required significantly. If you look at your job's monitoring information the %CPU utili...

I thought I had remembered it correctly but did a quick check in the BASIC PDF document before posting and managed to look at the octal column by mistake and managed to get the post wrong. I wouldn't have caught the error if another person hadn't posted the exact same question in a separate thread a...

Venkat, transforms are 1-line codes that are replaced at compilation time; whereas routines are functions that can be of any length you want and are called at runtime. If you change a transformation you need to recompile all jobs that use it; you need only recompile a routine once so that the change...

My misteak <sic>; the UNIX LF is CHAR(10)

You can eliminate duplicate rows in sequential files by using any one or the many suggestions to be found by using the SEARCH facility found in this forum.

Add a line feed (Char(15)) to your derivation to add a line break.

Most Windows files use <CR><LF> as the line separator. All you need to do is to add those to characters to your line and it will ensure a line break. A Derivation such as "'Hello how are you ':CHAR(13):CHAR(10):#ParameterName#" will do this. (Please note, I corrected the original CHAR() defintions; ...

Julio, if you have MKS toolkit or something similar intalled, the rsh program might be an easy way to do it, or if the other machine is a windows-based one then (depending on your security setup and connections) you might be able to run the program directly using \\node\drive\program.exe syntax.
