And also as your job type specifies parallel type, your queries should go to datastage enterprise edition forum.

Hi..

Here you can specify a filter program for processing the file you are extracting data from. For example, to unzip a compressed file before reading it.

Hi,

The filter option in sequntial file can be used to execute OS commands. In our project, due to space consideration the flat files are zipped. Using the filter option of the sequntial file, we unzip them using gunzip
