Kenny, We have been having the same intermittant issue youve listed for Job 2, and weve never gotten any kind of resolution as to what is going wrong. Once in a blue moon, a job that had been running fine for days / weeks / whatevers will suddenly "start but not run". Like you, all we get in the log...

Arvind Where is this article? I would like to read it. I have used all the information that comes from monitoring a job and loaded into Oracle and other databases. If you have job start and end times it is easy to see the order the jobs run in. The designer is definitely not as clear when you have a...

Use the NUM() function to determine if something is numeric. You could also use the MATCHES operator to check whether a string contains purely numeric digits. Use substring operator or LEFT() or RIGHT() functions to obtain the substring to test. Thus, for example: Num(Column[1,4]) Column[1,4] Matche...

Yes, you use the Char() function to evaluate it. Best practice is to evaluate this function only once; that is, perform a constant declaration or assign to a variable early in the program, then use that token. For example: Equate TAB To Char(9) ... Line = Key : TAB : CustCode : TAB : OrderDate ... -...

Sure, either directly use CHAR(9) or set a variable to it, like TAB=CHAR(9), then use TAB anywhere you need to. Ex: TAB=CHAR(9) blah blah blah msg="This is before the tab":TAB:"This is after the tab" blah blah blah Good luck! -Ken --- lfrumke@sears.com wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I know how to use tab...

Ill keep the group aware of the outcome. We will initially have 3-5 concurrent users around the world a...
