Column generator logics automatically removed by DataStage

It has occured a number of times that my column generator logics (e.g. cycle, initial=0, increment=1....etc) have been removed automatically. This happens a number of times in vairous jobs, and there is no sign of this happening until we found out when the job failed in runtime.

Has anyone had similar experience?

I suspected it is related to some kind of corruption, but there how come it only affects the column generator logic?

Would be great if anyone can shed some light on this.

Thanks.

Are you running version 7.5x2 or a different version?

Do you change any other properties in the Column Generator stage when this occurs?

Export your job prior to running and export it again after runnning.
Copy the generated OSH before running and again after running.
Examine both pairs of files to see whether any actual change has occurred as a result of running the job.

If there is change (other than timestamps) you have a reproducible case that you can report to your support provider as a bug.
