Problem combining 2 inputs

[btaylor]

I am new to DataStage and I am having a problem combining 2 inputs.

I have a sequential file which I need to load into a DB2 table. The table contains a serial number which is obtained from a sequence. The next sequence number is obtained by entering the following custom SQL satement:

select next value for alerts.seq_sn_log from sysibm.sysdummy1;

I need to load the DB2 table with the data from the sequential file and the sequence number from the database however I cannot combine the 2 inputs into one file to load into the database.

What is the best way to handle with this problem?

We retrieve the DB2 sequence numbers during the insert by using NEXT VAL as the insert value via user-defined SQL:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO CUSTOMER
CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME, CUSTOMER_ODOR
(NEXT VAL FOR #DB_SCH#.CUSTOMER_SEQ, ?, ?)

This statement will retrieve the next sequence number from the CUSTOMER_SEQ each time an insert statement is run.
