1) Attempt to convert invalid date '', 0 substituted
2)Run-time error '457' This key is already associated with an element of this collection

My job inserts rows into a new table in the local (to the datastage server)DB2 database. The job runs successfully (with a few warnings). The DB2 table contains all the rows.

The 4 warning events in the log prior to the crash that I can view prior to the pop-up are along the lines of ...'APT_CombinedOperatorController,0: Invalid character(s) ([x8A]) foun convert...

The Client is the Refresh 2 Client for DataStage 8.1 Enterprise Edition

Has anyone experienced a similar error?

Got nothing to do with the job, per se, sounds like your XMETA repository is corrupted. I'd suggest contacting your official support provider to get this straightened out.
