How "odd" are the jobs?
Seriously, Version Control is a good tool for promotion because of the control it allows you over the target environment (read-only, recompile, etc.) and the ability to include other folders (for scripts, etc.) in the process.
Version Control for DataStage is not, however, a source code control system. Adjust your expectations if you have been led to believe that it is.

Read the online help that installs with the product, specifically Chapter 2 which covers the Version Control "Methodology".

Hi
Do a search on Version Control; you will find lots of best practices around.If you really want to do source control you can create exports of jobs and check them into PVCS Version Manager or any other source control type software.
