What is the value that is getting loaded into table for the column HIREDATE?
You can find this in director or for checking, you can replace the database stage as sequential stage and check the output.

When you are running all the jobs in Sequence, the jobs might not be in runnable stare, either running or not compiled. But can you tell us, what are you trying to do in Executecomand activity?

Metadata specified does not match to the given file layout. Check for UPDATE_DATE, for which it is complaining about. It has the values in the pattern of mm/dd/yyyy. What is the data type that been specified?

Make sure you dont find any issues in loading Null as date field in DB2. Keep your field as Nullable. You may see some '********.....' as values. Or you can use NullToValue and give some defaults.

All most all functions that you choose from transformer will have % to indicate to pass parameters. You need to pass Column name or any String within qoutes as input.

Quick hint, Make sure you dont get this error in any other jobs.
If this job is the only issue, Create a copy of the same job and try to compile. If that works, you can delete the existing job.
If that doesn't work, take a backup of METL_DEV_R1 and start searching the forum.

If its a delimited file, first count number of delimiter using either DCOUNT or other functions available. If it the number of fields is as expected, do a lookup against production file. If all the fields matches, marks the flag as 'Y'.

Why not a routine that reads the file and set the value as Userstatus for that stage and pass as a parameter to the Looping stage. Alternatively you can read the file using Executecomand activity and pass it as an command output.

Is it possible to set $UserStatus of job#2 inside job#4 or in sequencer.

Its not possible. But you can set Userstatus of Job 2 in Job2 and access it in Job4. Unless you have a Sequencer in between Job2 and Job4.
