Sure...
In DataStage, we have numerous types of internal files we can create. The
most common for this discussion would be what is known as the hashed file,
or more specifically, what we call the Dynamic Hashed File.
These files are composed of:
D_filename - dictionary/metadata information of the file.
filename - directory containing:
DATA.30 - actual data of file
OVER.30 - overflow data of file
