The main function of the Iconv is to convert the external data type into Datastage internal format, and Oconv is to convert the Datastge internals to External format. String to data or vice versa, or Decimal and its vice versa etc, are done using this.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
