generally when you need column definition of a file. you just import the table definition where its going to be loaded, because the columns definition in the file is the same as the table.

NOW.


i am trying to import the column definition of a text file say abc.txt so i can load that into a seq file stage.

when i try to do it by making use of load -> seq file definition> abc.txt

it says VB.UserControl. control maybe not be compatible with this application ?

any ideas how this can be fixed? is this even allowed ?

This suggests that you have some other application that is using the same name as one of the Visual Basic controls in the DataStage client, and this other application was installed after DataStage client so that it's DLL is the most recently loaded. From the error message there is no way to determine which control that might be; involve your official support provider.
