Hi All,
I'm running a parallel job (DS 9.1)
getting the following messages in the log:

Error occurred during initializeFromArgs().
Unrecognized argument:
main_program: Creation of a step finished with status = FAILED.

Have gone over the existing 7.5 and 8.5 threads.
disabled combination.
I see no real reason for this.
The passwords used via parameter sets,
doesn't contain special characters.

Anyone had his on 9.1 version?

will try to rebuild the job from scratch.

Thanks in advance,

Hi All,
The cause was identified.
A usage of a job parameter was made to represent a NullToZero for NullToEmpty values or Null value substitution for columns with the not null constraint.
the varchar value wah a space character enclosed with single quotes.
We changed the parameter value to double quotes at first, then used the above mentioned transformation functions inside the transformer stage.

So I guess that raps this topic :)

almost forgot... After reading some IBM post regarding the environment variable and realizing that setting it might cause plugin issues later on I decided to use the above mentioned solution.
