May I know the purpose of using trim for all the column.
Yes, you try the option suggested by prabu. By using trim, you are removing the left out space, where the target expects at least 5 space in the char. If trim is part of your logic, you can use handle_null.

For the data type of varchar it is ok to give single space, in case of char datatype it is must to have 5 spaces. If it is decimal , it would be considired as null. There may be some other reasons, like unique constrains voilation for record reject.

As Ray mentioned, you can use stage variable for row to row comparision. But what do you mean accumulating codes. If it is simple sum up, you can use aggregator stage with respective partition instead.

The funny thing is it runs from command line from server.

Do you mean to say only from server machine and not even in any of your client machine. How do you call from Tivoli workflow Manager, is it same as the command used to call from server?

I guess the temp file produces by one Basic transformer is geting cleared by another which is running in parallel.
But why Basic Transformer in PX. Why cant the same routering function be made in PX transformer.
The main reason for ds_ipcopen() would be due to this.
