Can anyone tell if the following functions validates in Parallel jobs.
Fmt(DSLink3.col1,"12'0'R")

Its working properly in Server jobs but invalidating in Parallel Jobs..

Thanks in advance,

Divya

I first though is that FMT is a server function and thus not avaliable in a parallel job.

Yes and no. FMT is a Server function and Server functions / routines are available in a PX job via the BASIC Transformer. However, there are a number of caveats to using the BASIC Transformer in a parallel job, so your best bet is to learn the PX equivalents and stick with those.
