If you target field is of decimal its not possible to get the preceeding 0s. Atleast in server edition. Char/Varchar type can be used for this.

Try declaring the Env variable as a Job Parameter and use that parameter in your. Similarly, try assinging a stage variable and initialize the Env variable in it and use the stage variable.

Rather than aborting the job (Which may not look tidy), Select the table name from TAB or ALL_TABLES and based on the result, set UserStatus. Based on the user status, trigger the rest of the jobs. Or as narasimha mentioned, split into two streams for each function.

Ray's job is PX. How about yours?
If your also on PX, you have a work around. Promote that warning to Info using Message handler. If server, better approach Support.

If you use the metadata for the body and if you try to extract the header and body, dont you get the header getting rejected?
Sorry I dont have access to Datastage at the moment. Is your header and body are of same fixed length?
