When I try to load a table definition in CFF stage, DataStage (currently using DataStage server) crashes. The Cobol copybook has the famous "OCCURS ...DEPENDING ON". Not sure if the crash is related to this.
Have attached the portions of the copybook here. I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
I have only one ODO in this copybook and I tried to flatten the occurs.
I haven't worked with the CFF stage anytime recently, but do recall that while it supports OCCURS it does not support one with a DEPENDING ON clause. Check the Functionality section of the CFF Stage pdf documenation for more information.
Didn't think it would 'crash' anything, however.

Is there any limitation on the number of columns DS can support? After flattening the occurs I get around 18918 fields. Will this be the cause for DS to crash?
Also CFF documentation states that it supports "Fixed OCCURS with no DEPENDING ON clause." I did see many previous posts on this and am not sure what the work around would be. So can anyone please let me know if there is a work around for this.

I understand that CFF in DataStage server will not be able to handle "OCCURS DEPENDING ON". But even after changing this to fixed OCCURS (there are 100 occurs) DataStage crashes after loading the table definition and flattening the occurs. It does not allow me to select the columns.
