What version of DataStage?
How (and where on disk) hashed files are cached when not in memory is handled in different ways in different releases. For example, in DataStage 4.2 it's configured with the DS_MMAPPATH and DS_MMAPSIZE environment variables.
Somewhere, though, it appears that you are running out of disk space in this location.
If you load the hashed file without caching, you will probably find that it loads completely, albeit not as fast as with caching. Later you can correct the memory (and/or paging space) problem.

This msg is from version 5.x and up. You're using write cache and you exceed the memory limitation. first try with no write cache (it'll take longer) then ask Ascential support if what happens is only the loosing of cache writing ability but the data is still being written o.k. to the hash. (I thing the answear will be - YES)

Which platform are you running DS on? We have had the same thing on AIX before. The problem has been resolved after modifying some memory related parameters in uvconfig adviced by Ascential. Or you may want to check your ulimit first
