What do you mean by 'junk' value? Is there any pattern or is it constant value? Is there any default in the column?

What if you also map it to a sequential file?

Btw, the question is marked for server and hence APT_PADCHAR may not be the reason.

You do not have funnel in server jobs.

But depending on whether the output is database or flatfile or any other media, you can change your design.

For example, if database, you can insert as separate streams.

Btw, what must happen if any of the 2 column value is 00 or blank ?

Do it in two steps - one truncate and custom SQL.

Btw, what you expect to do as 'custom' ?

Champa,

Sequence are basic jobs. So you can call both Server and Parallel from it.

Sort in Server and Parallel must be identical. If you provide more information on the source and settings in your sort stage, someone will be able to assist.

Priyadarshi,

That was the problem I wanted to say with preserving the partition due to which you cannot run a high node dataset in a low node configuration.

Thanks for putting it with practical terms.

Arnd,

I know it is possible to read 2 node ds via 4 but may have issues doing vice-versa.

But can you explain how 10k via 2 node became 25k in 4?

Op says
My requirement is DATE_PURCH<>'1900-01-01'

Is the question
i have to handel null for it

NullToValue(DATE_PURCH, '1900-01-01') <> '1900-01-01'
