If you were using straight XSLT, you could define the value of an element like this

Code: Select all

/node1/node2
but with DataStage, you have to explicitly use the text() function thus:

Code: Select all

/node1/node2/text()

In case anyone's interested.

If you ever have to use the XML stage, make sure that you use the text() function when defining a path to an element otherwise DataStage spits the dummy and you end up with a Phantom.

XML Phantom

I've got a Server job which is fairly simple. FOLDER----------->XML---------->ODBC The job produces the following warning: DataStage Job 1839 Phantom 10528 XSLT Warning: Source tree node: SoftwareResourceLocator. (, line 168, column 64.) Now when I run it with tracing on, the warnings disappear. I'd...

I've finally received a response from IBM support and the bottom line is that DataStage will NOT release memory for you. Here's the repsonse. DataStage will not free up the memory that you have allocated, you have a memory leak here, and because buf is an automatic variable you will not be able to a...

I'm not saying that DataStage will free memory - I'm asking if it will. The question arises from a few posts on this forum. A good example is on the following thread. http://www.dsxchange.com/viewtopic.php?t=111614&highlight=free+memory Specifically a comment by DSGuru2B Yes. DataStage will. You...

Thanks for your reply Kim.

I don't know what I did the first time but I re-compiled and tried again and it now seems to be working.

Do you have any idea about the memory management issue?


Thanks,

Jim

External Routines

Hi all, I've been trying to get some information on the mysteries of external functions and although I've seen quite a number of threads about this, I am still a little confused. I've written the following routine. #define ISALPHA(c) ((c>='a'&&c<='z')||(c>='A'&&c<='Z')) #define ISDIG...

I'm having the same problem.

Does anyone out there know what causes this and how to get rid of it?
