There is an environment variable to specify this APT_MAX_DELIMITED_READ_SIZE By default, when reading, DataStage will read ahead 500 bytes to get the next delimiter. If it is not found, DataStage looks ahead 4*500=2000 (1500 more) bytes, and so on (4X) up to 100,000 bytes. This variable controls the...

Thank you Ray,

I decided to add one more filter stage to sort this out.

Senthil,

As you said, I feel it is improper to use reject link, I dint even check this option out. Thank you too.


Thanks,
Ajith

Unmatched Rows in Look up stage

I want to know how to get only the unmatched rows in a particular look up. Is it possible to do this with look up stage alone. I was trying to achieve this by specifying the look up condition. But It does not allow me to use reference link columns. I cannot change the link ordering as that is disabl...

You cannot Use Null validation functions along with Null handling functions ...

Try to do the null handling without using the null handling functions by equating to '' . I think that will sort that out..

Hope that helps ..

Hi Ajith, Here you are performing lookup and taking the field DESC from reference is it right ? If your lookup fails, it have to give Null in the filed DESC. Here my question is what is the nullability of filed DESC ( NO/YES). If it is NO, datastage will set ' ' for the DESC filed and check If it i...

How can Filter stage can diffrentiate, if the space is from the source or that been padded by previous stage? Or you check for the presence of space in the first char of the DESC. Filter stage does not differentiate ... It just looks for Characters other than the padchar at the end of the string an...

This case you can check for the space for the full length of the DESC field. Or you can trim and check for ''. No, That is exactly my point, I just have to compare with one space ... The filter automatically trims ( Ignores ) rest of the spaces ... Is this a bug with the filter stage??? ... I want ...
