When writing data to Hash files it is treating the below values as one and over writing the data.

256785A
256785a

Is there a solution to it as they are distinct values for me.

i have taken your values and taking datatype as varchar with length 10 it creates 2 different record in hash file.

please can you check at your end.

As noted, they are two distinct values. Please double-check your findings.

Check whether you have a downcase or upcase function before loading the data to hash file.

A hash file is for trimming a block of hash. DataStage uses hashed files.
