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?

The Sequential File component does not appear to be capable of processing a file that ...

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...
