Anybody has any other option

This is so difficult to accept that we have to do conversion from Unicode to Ascii by modify or transformer before we use them in the join.

Thanks

You could convert the Unicode data to non-Unicode in an upstream Modify stage. Add a NOWARN specification. But what's wrong with performing a Unicode comparison? Thanks for your reply Ray I thought we could have small little configuration parameter in the datastage, so change would be only in that ...

CDC works fine for null value

We have tested the null comparison using CDC and it just works fine.

I guess one of the data is actually not having a null value, so this CDC returns as change. Please see the internal representation of the field, which is having a problem to identify the real issue.

I change the NLS setting on the CFF stage and also the job level but without success. When I changed it on the job level all field were unreadable. The format of the field coming in on the CFF stage is CHARACTER 26 scale 6, could this need to be adjusted or have any impact on the results. Thanks, S...

Re: Character datatype

thamark, I have my input and output columns defined as Varchar(100). So that's not what is causing it. I even tried Trim(Trim(InCol), 'x','B') But it still returns: AAAAAAAxxxxxBBBBBBBBBBxxxxxxxx Whale. Then you can verify to see, if you have some un-printable character at end of the string.

Char datatype problem

I guess this is problem due to the Data Type of the column.

Following function should give you correct answer, if that is the case

Trim(Trim(Column), 'x','B')

Character datatype

I noticed this kind of behavior if the input column is character data type column , by which length of field is not exactly same as field length defined and it pads spaces at the end. Last example works fine since i am triming trailing spaces and then trimming again... Means Col1 Char 2000 Col1 ='xx...

Try writing into sequential file rather than Database

Try writing into sequential file instead of database Insert/Update(Upsert), since upsert is costlier operation to do.

If this method runs in minutes then you can try to identify operation type and do it using individual stage.
