Even though this question has been posed and answered many times before and the search functionality will show many responses, I'll answer nonetheless - Your actual data length and your DataStage declared data lengths are not the same. In this case, ID is probably declared as a fixed CHAR() field of...

In that case, you should have no problems. The notation in the e-exponent form is just when you display the data.

Have you explicitly sorted and partitioned BOTH left and right links? Sorted on the join keys and partitioned on just the main key? Add $APT_DUMP_SCORE to your job and examine the score to see if DataStage has inserted operators. Make the join output go straight to a PEEK or COPY stage with no outpu...

If the insert statements are indeed standard SQL then the approach might be to take the string, replace table/instance/column names as required, then pass that string to your Oracle stage and execute it directly.

Add debugging calls such as DSLogInfo() or DSLogWarn() in your routine to see if the values passed in are actually what you expect or to ensure that the routine is actually being called at runtime.

If you correctly define your character sets in source and target then you won't get conversion errors. Odds are you have incorrectly declared your NLS settings in the SQL server source stage.
