harithay/Bunny,

Px or Enterprise uses Sequential files in much the same way that Server does; but it does take advantage of a lot of parallel processing features that are lacking in the Server edition.

What exactly are you asking?

If you are trying to export data to a flat file, use the Sequential file stage as the target for your data stream. In other words, if the link goes INTO the Sequential file stage, the stage will be treated as an export. If the link COMES OUT OF the Sequential file stage, then the stage is treated as an import.

Example:

[DB2 Stage, read from some table] -------------> [Sequential File Stage]
