So have you ever needed to write a "Job Control" procedure that opens a file via a filehandle and writes out to another handle? Can you think of a file type of file that would need this?chulett wrote:Sure it can. Set 'Terminators' to 'None' and then ensure your Display metadata is correctly sized.

Fixed-width, non-ambiguous font
Any edit box that contains code should be (or have the option to be) in a fixed-width serif font such as Courier New. It can be important whether that is a capital I or a lower-case L in a field or function name. Also, SQL is generally easier to read if it is laid out well, and that needs fixed-widt...

Integrate BASIC file reading with other component
You can write a Server Job that is just a BASIC program that reads a binary file and spits out a text file that DataStage can then read with a Sequential File component. The Server Job canvas is blank, and can't hold any other components. :idea: What I would like is a "BASIC Code" componen...
