Yes decimal can be converted to float.
If your input are all with the same pattern, input could also be read as decimal.

So rather than beliveing in Datastge, you may start writing your own logic using routine or any bat file to wait for file and extract the same.

Why cant you read the column as decimal and apply column defaults as 0s.

The same will be displayed in adminstrator client.
If you select a project from Projects tab, bottom of the client will show you the Project pathname.

Again you can search for key work READONLY, DS_JOBS, DS_OBJECTS to get more commands.
One of the method would be

May I know how you use this basic routine in your PX jobs

You administrator may use command to increase the max number of process per id.

Try to execute the jobs with two or more different userid parallely. If this goes, you need to alter your default settings.

If you search for the same in the forum, you may get some informations like using Basic routine or TZ environmental variable from unix.
The first option may not be usefule for your case, since you need to work out record wise. Perhaps you can try for the second approach.

There are limitation for max number of processors involved for each user in Unix. You can speak to you admin to increase the value.

Number of process involved in 3 different job Sequence calling 3 different jobs at the same time is more that single Job Sequence calling 3 jobs.

By saying Converting from one timestamp to another, do you mean updating set of records from old file to a new file with a updated timestamp?

It may not be directly possible using single lookup stage. But by knowing you exact requirement, like what sort of data is to be looked up, what are the ranges of the discretion of data... the lookup table can be loaded with some manipulation so that a single column can be maintained to lookup. Else...

Yes, if 'Add checkpoints so sequence is restartable on failure' is selected and if BaseSeq1 as execution mode as 'Run' and the jobs with 'Reset if required and rerun' should work.

I agree to JobSequence.
