How do I know which functions are for DS7.5.1A Parallel Edit

How can I find this information from the documentation? In the
documentation, there is a Datastage BASIC Guide under Server Guides.
However, the functions in the BASIC guide apply to Parallel jobs as well.

The BASIC functions do not apply to PX jobs, unless you specifically use the BASIC Transform stage. The functions availabe to you in PX are documented in the pdf document Parallel Job Developer's Guide

Arndw, none of the functions that can be run in the Parallel Edition of Datastage is listed in the Parallel Jobs Develop's Guide. This guide has descriptions of all basic stages (no plug-ins) and that's all. Do a search for a StringTo.. function.

It's very much in there. Go all the way down in the contents index and you will find a topic with heading Functions. Page(1090 or above). Check it out. Good luck

Ok, yes, they are there but these very quick descriptions. I was looking for detail descritpions with examples like we have, for example, on page 147 of Datastage BASIC Guide for the ABS function.

The PX functions are not documented in that detail anywhere that I know of.

Another quick and detail reference "DSXchange".
