The code for the different pieces of the build is C/C++. Each datatype that DataStage uses has a corresponding C++ class. Strings are APT_String, Decimals are APT_Decimal, etc. The header files that describe the classes and their corresponding methods are in the online documentation (PDF's) or you can look them up directly in your DataStage installation: $APT_ORCHHOME/include/apt_util.

You should be able to use any C or C++ construct, create your own classes, etc. I know that you can even create your own libraries and header files, but I have not done that yet. Can anyone else elaborate on how this can be done?

HTH,
Brad.
