Abnormal termination of Stage Transformer detected

[Bryceson]

Hi All,

We are running jobs in Testing environment sporadically different DataStage Jobs Abort with this Warning "Abnormal termination of stage LoadDMDriver..Transformer_4 detected" in the log from Director.

So far we have managed to recompile the aborted jobs and re-run the Sequence.

Has anybody run into this before?? Any knowledge will be appreciated.

Thanks . . .Bryceson

Bryceson,

Using the forum's search facility it would seem that there are 138 threads where people have discussed of this type problem.

Often you can get additional information by resetting the aborted job and then looking at the detailed messages in the "from previous run" log entry.

Multiplying values with a NULL causes an Abnormal Termination, so it behooves all developers to insure that NULL values never get put into an expression.

Also, before/after subroutine calls to non-existent routines causes problems.
