Job Parameters Are Your Friend. Use them for anything that may change in your job, like your sequential file pathname. That way it is a couple of minutes (depending on the number of jobs) to change them in the future (directly in the job, no recompile needed) or read them in from an 'ini type' file and set them each job run. We've done both ways and usually let the controlling job collect the filenames (etc) and set them for whatever jobs in the batch need them.

I don't believe any exist... at least I've never found any. Your best resource is the Help supplied with the product (which is very good) or forums like this. There is also the Datastage list server at oliver.com that is archived here - tons of people answering questions there.
