Yep, I agree as I said before after doing all renaming and dropping stuff; if you are still getting the error(warn) message only possible reason for that is RCP enabled.

I dont concur with you. He is saying date looks good on the table, but after join its defaulted. A db2 table cannot store a invalid value in a date column.

Re: Join is returning a default date

I am not aware of your other design detail, so my suggestion would be based on some assumptions. If ActNo is one of the key columns and is at the higher level, then it would be an additional benefit. Assuming it is; I would sort the data on ActNo and hash partition on ActNo and enable "Create C...

Ideally u shdnt be getting the problem if u have renamed the common columns...worth giving it a try..are the columns renamed in the input stage itself or intermediate stage? if its renamed in a intermediate stage, try disabling RCP
