the input field is a string '12-23-2005' can we convert it into timestamp directly

Your string only has date part and not time part. What you need to do is concat date and time part together and then convert it into timestamp. If you don't have time part then have default values

Chang There is no restriction in calling routines concurrently. I don't think that is the problem in your case. Go back to your routine and do full test on the routine to see whether it is working correct or not. You might need to give all different type of value which you receive from source. Trace...

Look the format of the string in the source and check whether you are using the same format to check whether it is valid or not?. How are verifying whether the string is valid date or not?... Give some examples and your conversion logic we might be able to help you

I absolutely agree with Ken. ODBC works better with these sorts. I do lots of these creating ODBC job to access SQL Server.

Shailendra Loop stage can be used inside Sequencer jobs. What you need to do is to get the list of file names and supply this list to loop start stage with some delimiter between each files. And you can have your job to execute inside your loop. Read manual for more documentaion about how to use loo...

Use Routine "DataTypePicS9" as Chandru said and on top of that Divide the result by 100 to get the right decimal place for your result.

eg.

DataTypePicS9(000000200{)/100 = 20.00

first investigate why you got this unique constraint error now. Check the source data and see whether any duplicates are coming. Check your job to see whether you have logic to eliminate duplicate records.

The answer is 'Yes'.

You can have header and trailer records in your sequential file. You may have to filter header and trailer records during the process if you don't want these to be processed inside your job

Guys

Had a quick look in the Parallel Developer Guide Manual and found that not all options for Sequential stage is described inside the manual. It seems that we need to browse the real object to see all the options available for a stage.
