A hash file is a tool for shaping a block of hash. In DataStage we talk (or should talk) about hashed files.

The names are fairly self-explanatory. A static hashed file is one in which the number of groups does not change without manual intervention. In a dynamic hashed file the number of groups is adjusted automatically depending on the volume of data needing to be stored. From this simple differences other differences, such as physical strucure, obtain but the logical structure and hashing algorithm approach to key-based access is identical.
