Hai everybody,

am working with datastage 7x server edition. win XP.
Is it necessary for the parameters to have default value in the job parameters dialog box.

No it's not necessary, job will compile and run with null parameter defaults.

Compile? Yes. Run? No necessarily, as some parameter types are 'required' to have values before the job can be run. Never mind the fact that the job design may not work all that well without an actual value.
