This post was started for discussing the condition check for Null in switch stage. Where we cant use IF ISNULL(LINKNAME) logic in that.

Hi,
You can try using Combine Record Stage to create a Vector records from a set of group records. From which you can use you Make Subrecord Stage to create the subrecords.
Hmm... 02 and 05 are the conventional figures used to mention the top level and sub level in the Mainfram aspect.

You got the ip 100.200.10.15. Check with the system if any application is still running? If not, run $DSHOME/bin/list_readu to the list of locks. It might be a deamon running behind. Try to UNLOCK ALL. use ps -eaf | grep dscs to get the user id who holds the lock ( Probably you may not see any ) The...

If your date column is nullable, it should not get dropped.
Atleast it should hold '*********' in it.
Is you date parameter e30_dat_fin_mens converted to date format. i.e., if it is assigned as string, try with StringToDate().

If you have the list of the tables, it would be easily done from unix shell script. Read the the table list, grep for the each table name in the main text, if found read untill a '.' is found. Append all the lines to a new file with the same table name '.txt'.
