I have a set of jobs which access a TeraData database using ODBC stages. For all the jobs, the following warning comes up:

DataStage Job 148 Phantom 5364
Program "DSD.GetDBMSDetails": Line 279, Retrieve: syntax error. Unexpected . Token was "".
Scanned command was
Program "DSD.BCIOpenR": Line 246, Retrieve: syntax error. Unexpected . Token was "".
Scanned command was
DataStage Phantom Finished

This comes in the Director log at the very end. What is this phantom? Why does this warning come up?

Try to open the ODBC properties and opt GetSQLInfo. Then save -> compile -> run.

All that is OK and the job is working fine. Just that the client does not want to see any warnings in the job log. This entry consistently appears in all logs. I want to know the reason behind this warning.

Hi,
In my experiance this implies 1 of the following:
1. your missing something like aleady said or similar things.
2. you encountered a bug.

in eithere case contact your support provider for solutions while you also try to find them here.

by the way in any case you cant avoid those warnings can you use message handlers? (manager/director help Or look in the FAQ forum for the relevant post)

(Do post your finidings and final solution)

IHTH,
