I have found this thread particularly valuable and informative (thank you to all the knowledgeable contributors). It does however raise some (obvious?) questions as to tuning the actual usage of such hash-files eg: 1) What (if any) effect do different creation parameters have on performance during r...

Use iconv to change the date to an internal date, add the number of days to the integer value, and then use oconv to manipulate it back to a date string. Something like the following. Lets say that you wanted to add 5 days to a date. CharDate = "20020404" IntDate = iconv(CharDate, "D") Ans = oconv(I...

Warren, I have already submitted an enhancement request (ECASE ID 4710) for this functionality with Ascential.

OK. I modified the Routine/Transform to return the date in external format (oconv(date(),D) and increased the number of invocations (10 columns instead of 3 - my original test) and ran for 1000000 rows. The results were 3:22 for function (4950 rows/sec) and 5:05 (3278 rows/sec). The example is inten...

I have no experience in setting up Exchange. I dont know if it supports SMTP "out of the box" or if there is some non-default configuration. In our situation, it was already configured to accept SMTP requests, although only to internal addresses (a deliberate security setting). I suspect that there ...

When we implemented the SMTP email for our use of datastage, all i needed were the appropriate DLLs and MS OutLook or Exchange ( were running NT ). Once all was in place, a simple test proved whether or not the email worked. -----Original Message----- From: Pritsas, Loukas [mailto:lpritsas@kpmg.gr] ...

No problems... Just be aware that you dont run out of memory (if read cache is enabled) while reading and that u dont do a create file or ovrwrite existing file in all the programs where u write to the hash file.
