Nice....folks in CO must be like, "Stay away from this new yorker or he'll ram us over".

Thats a fine approach. Make sure you put enough error handling mechanisms in there.
A suggestion: If the running of one job will not affect the running of another then you can probably make this job a multi-instance job and call the instance with different parameters.

Ok dude relax, no need to get hyper. I didnt know this topic has been covered before, knock yourself out by doing an exact search on keywords "non-virtual data set"

Wow, 8.0 is out for unix platform Nice....
What is the filename that you are reading. Does it really have the .v extension? What if you rename the faile with .txt extension and read the .txt instead of .v?

Another question, You query just includes current date. Whats the purpose of the parameter (2007-01-01) that you mentioned in your query?

Have you tried doing it yourself? What have you tried so far? It can be done easily using out of the box functions.

What is your datasource? Is it a flat file or a database?

Another variation of Kumar's suggestion for "If you have a job with all these parameters defined" is, that you can make a copy of that particular job and rename it to your new job's name. The copy paste will copy all the parameters. Now you can go to file, select All and hit delete. This will give y...

Well if there was something different in the way the two DS Engines were running, it would be in this file, if your systems are identical to the point of memory size, file systems and uvconfig values, then to be really honest, I have no idea. Wait for support to get back to you.

A file system size limitations perhaps? Search on keywords "Error in writeBlock "

There is no main() function in a px routine. DataStage looks for function name. You can have 10 C functions in a single file doing different transformations, with 10 px routines, all pointing to a single object file and they all will work.

Try giving a space(' ') instead of nothing(''). Also see if setting null_value to space helps in the extended properties of the field.

It is thread hi-jacking.
Thats all, once you provide the path to the object file (.o) you can use the routine inside your transformer. Make sure that your id has execute permission to the file and folder.

Search the forum for scripts to do the same in a fancy fashion. There are many.

It is top 10% of a particular column in a file. You need to sort these values ascending, line them up in a single row, get the max value (last value), calculate the 10 percent breaking point, filter all the records equal to or less than that breaking point. If we are talking about Top 10% on values...
