DataDirect ODBC drivers expire after 30 days when used outside of database stage. They need to be purchases explicitly.

Even if you build it by burning a lot of brain cells, the usage option will expire after 30 days. Unless you decide to buy it from DataDirect. Whats wrong in using the sequential file stage?

It depends upon how your kernal is set up. Ideally, it should invoke the second processor. To get a better understanding of this, I suggest you sit with your SA and ask him/her at the OS level how processes are managed.

If your data is quoted then provide the quote character. This will pick up the data as you want. Since it is a csv file. With quote character set to none, each comma will be treated as a selimiter.
