Phantom Error on DS 5.1 - File name too long

Post by admin »

Anyone seen an error like this ?

DataStage Job 49 Phantom 28544
File name "JOB.1182663753.DT.1236265332.V0S175.IDENT1" too long. Truncated to "JOB.1182663753.DT.1236265332.V0S175.IDENT".

By default &PH& is what UniVerse terms a "Type 1" file. In a Type 1 file, IDs are limited to 41 characters. "JOB.1182663753.DT.1236265332.V0S175.IDENT1" is 42 characters long, which is why it was truncated. To prevent recurrence, get to a UniVerse command prompt (perhaps the Command facility in the Administrator client) and execute the UniVerse command RESIZE &PH& 19. This converts &PH& to what UniVerse terms a "Type 19" file, in which there is no limit - other than the operating system limit on the length of a file name - on the length of a record ID. Then re-compile the job.

BTW, the designator V0S175 suggests that this is the 175th object added to your job design. This is a large number! (Then again, numbers are not re-used, so you may have made many changes over time to your job design.)

Ray,

Yes, lots of changes.
Apparently this is on the Ascential KnowledgeBase as a known problem to be fixed in 5.1.1. ( I should have looked there first).

Article ID G36148

Peter
