from DOS, try to "TELNET {YourServer}" - does that work? If not, your DataStage did not start correctly.

NLS is supported on all DataStage platforms.
Disable operator combination in your job to find out in which stage the error is occuring. The message clearly refers to an incorrect column metadata definition.

Does the Designer/Director work? By "hang" does it mean that you have to kill the process? If you do a "telnet {WindowsServerName}" do you get a DataStage login prompt?

Do you have auto-purge set for this job in the director? If yes, that might be part of the problem.

This should be posted in the PX forum, TX is a completely different product.

What sort of processing does your job do? If you have a database select that takes a while, or sorts or other possible slow processing stages you might not see any updates.

You have two options, either declare 3 keys and use 3 LOCATE statements or loop through the COMMON each time. I'd go with the first option as it is much more efficient.
