Well yes, thats what I meant. The sequential file stage will read the entire file but process can be written to then , depending upon the instance, process different chunks of records.
I have done something like this in the past, using Instance number and
@INROWNUM.

Sure you can. You can read different amount of records and run multiple instance job on it. Look into @INROWNUM.

Just for debugging purposes, if you make the job "not readonly" and "not protected" in the new environment and re-run it, do you still see this error?

I concur with Craig's advice. Its better to go through a good book for shell scripts. Get it right from the core. Start building small snippets of code. For specifics, google will help, etc etc.

Food for thought
- Identify jobs that really require conversion
- Understand whats going on in that server job.

Do you want to replace the Month part and the yyyy part automatically or provide parameter values to them. The latter is easy. But for the former you will have to do OCONV() on Date() to get Month as you require and the OCONV() on Date() with conversion code "DY[4]" for yyyy, in the derivation of jo...

Once you get that working, your Index() check for - will work and the + sign will get appended. Also make sure...
