There is no trial version you can practice on.

I've posted a Base64Decode executable export file in the FAQ forum
Hoping it will help someone in the future

Just since it was bumped... The director being a client side application, might be getting te settings from the client side, the same as your NLS setting when inporting a DSX file. So my guess would be setting your client with the same time zone as your server or the other way around. IHTH (I Hope T...

It turns out that the table was built with 3 fields that were defined shorter then they really are.
Once this was found and corrected the warnings were gone

Thanks Ray!

In other words, are you saying there is no other way except try and error; Ray? Not( ing)

Hi All,
The warning I get from the MainFrame's run logs is:

WARNING: DS0104-COBOL A numeric data assignment caused an overflow;
Some numeric precision was lost.

Any ideas on how to get to the column in question?
I got quite a few of them ...

Thanks in advance ...

Was quick on the gun on my part
seems the programer ment to perform MC/N but instead used the MCA conversion sode

Hi All, I'm experiancing an unexpected behaviour from the Iconv function when using te MC/N conversion code. The expected behaviur on my part is that it should work as documented, in my case preserving the space characters from the original string. For some strange reason the convrted string shows i...

Hi,
I wonder why you might want to do this in the first place

:arrow: :idea: So I think I failed to make cllear what was the solution we used :roll: So to complete the picture from my previous post ... We used Mainframe jobs to bring the data to Teradata work tables. that includes handling of all occurs/redefines and such interesting variants. Once the work ta...

The string contains comp-3 elements that do not read well via db2 connect as a string. There is no logic for determining what kind of record were dealing with, perhaps since it seems only one kind of record is currently used. I eventually used a substr function in the sql to get the fields I need Th...

My problem is that my source is a DB2 table :!: and correct me if I'm wrong DS only reads CFF files, it can't create them :cry: adding the fact I was told they won't build me a "normal" file I can read representing a sain version of the data I'm stuck with 3 people to help me named: MMI (M...

Hi, In addition to the above said In any case that your job crashes with little to no reason in the logs, reset that job using the DS Director and if there is any information in the &PH& job's-run log it will pop up as a "from previous run(...)" log entry in one or more of the rese...

Hi, In my experiance and as Ray said if your DS Server has enough resources when the job runs , everything around 200MB (+-) starts to be slow and 1GB(+-) might fail or take a very long time to finish. I think that till IBM decides to improove the XML Plugin we might concider an alternative to using...

Hi All, :arrow: This is a MVS / 390 Related Topic :!: I'm facing a case where there are db2 table fields of type char(x) that holds an array of records (by occurrs) or a records with redefines. The redifines are less of an issue since only one type of record is relevant. The problem is that in those...
