Hi All,

I am exploring all the fuctionalities of Sort Stage in datastage Server mode.

In Sort -> Stage ->Properties ->

I am not able to understand following options and its use..............

1)Max Rows in Virtual

2)Temporary Directories

3)Escape Character

4)Tracing Level

5)Stable Sort

6)Column seperator

7)Max open files

As these are not covered in Help topic.

Looking forward to the response.

Thanks

Prashant

You should be able to put your cursor in each field, one at a time, and while it's there click on the 'Parameter Help' button. This will give you specific help about that field. You can do this in any stage, actually.

Heck, you can set this up so you can do it for your own Job Parameters if you like.

Not only can, but should.
