Hello Everyone;

When I tried to complie Datastage 4.1 into 6.0, Im getting a following error:

"Job contains cyclic or liner dependencies and will not run"

Thanks in advance

Impossible to tell without seeing the actual job, but it looks like your 4.1 job relies on something that the compiler failed to pick up, usually something like a later stage in the job updating something that needs to be accessed earlier in the job.
Scrutinise the job looking for anything that looks like a cycle, and re-design the job so that it is avoided; maybe by using two stages rather than one.
