If you want to do it at datastage level go to director and run it by giving the appropriate parameters it would run as it normally runs only thing would be it will skip the checkpointed onces which ran sucessfully on the prior run.

Before converting a varchar to Decimal its a good practise to check if the record contains compatible values that can be converted to decimals ussing the IsValid() function. Datastage converts all non-numerics to all 0's when converting chars to decimals.

"Otherwise, &PH& is a directory within the project on the server. The file will have a name made up of the program name (DSD.RUN or DSD.StageRun for server jobs) followed by the pid, date and time in DataStage internal format.
