Please post full problem description.

there might be a possibility that You are loading some record in SQL, in which a field has a foreign key relationship and you are loading something which is not present in the master table...just chack

What says what doesn't exist?

Preserve the data and control files and run the bulk loader with your DBA looking on. Perhaps there are some trace tools available (to the DBA) that would help.

The bulk load is initiated by DataStage, but once it's running DataStage has no more control. You have to diagnose any failure using database diagnostic utilities.

Use find to search for the log file. Look first on all scratch disks defined in the configuration file used to run the job.

ive seen the config file and they point to the same directory. the control file is there but the log file is not.
the next 2 errors in the job log are

1. unable to acces the log file
2. the run locally opertaor failed.

I hope this is not one of the bugs again in DS ?
