It looks like your Ar03.sh has some problems. Check the line numbers indicated in the square brackets.

And if you think it is a dsjob usage error please post your full command,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried what you suggested in DS 7.5. It did not work for me.
I prefixed my hex data with 0x.

The data was something like 0x00CF. It had a type varchar.

I tried Integer as output. Also I tried AsInteger function. Both did not work.

Hi
I tried that. I am getting the following error message

Link DSLink18, Column DEVICE_CODE: ICONV(DSLink15.DEVICE_CODE,'MX")
Variable 'ICONV' not defined

I am using this in the transformer stage.

Thanks

Hi
You are saying this is a parallel job. You may want to take a look at the db2nodes.cfg. Can you tell about the partitioning info of the remote table??

Hi
Modify can be especially very useful in null handling.
Most other functionalities can be easily done using transformer.
If you use a copy stage to make copies, it makes more meaning to the others who see your jobs.

PS:
Modify and copy operators were indispensible in Orchetsrate scripts.

Thanks

vmcburney As you were mentioning "I will play around with sorts and transformers and maybe custom stages to find some way around this." Just for count distinct you can use sort with stable unique option. Of course in the main aggregator stage you want all your records. So just for doing a ...

Hi I am not sure if you will like it. But this is what we are doing. And it works great. Yes we do process huge volumes of data. We are using transformer's substring operations. Yes. Basically rip the 25 char string and build a sring of different format. By any chance can you get your input in your ...

Did you check the logs for the individual jobs . The fatal error may be in there. Sort the jobs by start time and look for the first aborted job.
