Check whether the file exists, delete the file if it exists. And recreate the file. Delete and creation of the file use OS command if the file is required to be sequential/ascii text file.

What is the source? Is it any DB or Sequential file?

If it is seq file, you can use OpenSeq/ReadSeq/WriteSeq to write the amount into a seq file. If it is DB, write the amount info into a file and do the beforesaid steps.

Yes. It is.

If you are using Parallel transformer, most of the functions cannot be used. In order to call those functions, the BASIC transformer is to be used.

The default value can be specified if the column has null value and this property is available in Seq file stage. And you need to transform back to NULL while writing into a DataSet.

Understand from his post he wants to exclude Saturday and Sunday while adding no of days to a date. If that is the case, you should check if the date falls on on these two days when you add no of days to the date.

As suggessted by Vincent, sort & partition could cause this issue. Pls look at the generated OSH code to identify the sort and partition that are used in the aggregator and join stage. And use the right partition and sort the data that will help you in resolving the issue.
