It usually means that an item of data is being attempted to be used for a purpose for which it is illegal to do so, such as trying to PRINT a file variable. In DataStage server jobs, this is usually caused by trying to perform some kind of operation with NULL, when that operation is not permissible with NULL (Aggregator stage is particularly susceptible to this).
Find the code in file RT_BP1432/JOB.83063744.DT.1288370181.TRANS1 (RT_BP1432 is a subdirectory of your project on the server) and paste it into, say, vi or Word so that you can display it with line numbers. Somewhere near line 269 is where the problem occurred (it may not be exactly line 269, as the $INCLUDEs can disrupt line numbering for error reporting). This should give you some guidance.
