DataStage is having a problem saving your routine called FidelStrNull. Check permissions on the server. Also check whether there are any NLS mapping errors occurring - you may need to enable server side tracing to determine this.

Theres not enough information in the error messages. You need to use the Debugger or a stage trace on the stage where the Trim() function is failing, and capture the value before and after. Then send the trace file (just the section for a row that fails will suffice) to support, who should be able t...

Export/Import/Moving Projects

Can anyone point us to some white papers, best practices or even DS documentation we may have missed that describes the best way to "port" a project with the least aggravation. We probably did something wrong, but we were surprised that even an export and then import back to the original project fol...

The main problem is with the concatenation operator. For the OS/390 version you have to use the double pipe || for concatenating strings. In the solution, Id recommend creating a stage variable where youve done the conversion from integer to character. Stage Variable: Name: CharDate, Char with a pre...

Yes, thanks Ken. I apologise if Im not using your libraries right now. Im just taking **baby steps** first. Everything is new to me right now.
