Is there perhaps a tiny chance that you could supply some more information? For instance what stages are involved, how "wide" the data is?

Yes, you can prepare XML through DataStage in both Server and PX. See the documentation for details on how to use the stages.

This looks like the DataStage process does not have drive "y" automounted.

Sorry, no time at the moment but perhaps someone else might have time. I've been here at work 12 hours and am working on other problems (for which I'm being paid)

Sounds like you've discovered a potential bug in the stage.

That would mean that the job is looking for a delimiter that it doesn't find before the maximum length of the record is reached.

My guess would be that the "?" in the key might be a @FM.

Yes, I am aware that your UNIX and my UNIX differ, that is why I stated "on AIX". What UNIX are you on?

The cut command is doing exactly what it should. When you output to a file UNIX added a <lf>.

On AIX the man pages read:

head Command

Purpose

Displays the first few lines of a file.

Syntax

head [ -Count | -c Number | -n Number ] [ File ... ]

If you can't use the "head" command, use "cut"

If you open up your Parallel Job Developer Guide and search the PDF for "COMP-3" you will find details on how to use the CFF stage with such data.

What stage are you using to write to the hashed file? What data type is LOC_INTER_LABEL_CHR and is that undisplayable character (the "?") expected?

There is no database or table in DataStage with the list of active users. The API is as Ray has explained and the way to get user names is to go through the Web Console as Sainath stated earlier in the thread. With Version 8 and a shared userid for accessing DataStage, any means of tracing a session...

I tried it at 8.0 and it won't.

Sequential_File_33: The multinode option requires fixed length records.

a) I would not put this down as an admin task. Enable the deadlock daemon and then all you'll have to say when a lock pops up is "Please wait up to 15 minutes and the system will clear the lock automagically". b) I don't know. c) No, that is not quite enough. If you do a complete export of...

No errors are to be expected that are particular to the 32-64 bit question. 8 is a major release change to 7 so there might be some new undocumented functionality introduced.
