Hi,

This error which occurs when the datastage engine run when the job has been stopped ,better to get the process id and kill that in the unix box and restart the job again..

Regards..Naveen.K

You are using ARG1 in your routine called NB. But, when invoking that routine, you are not passing any actual value to it.
