Major bummer! Has anyone deleted the &PH& directory? If not, does the user ID under which the DataStage job is run have rwx permission to the &PH& directory in the project?

Every DataStage process runs as a "phantom", which is DataStage-speak for background process. Every phantom has to keep a record of its activities, and does so in a file in the &PH& directory. This is an absolutely vital directory in the project; you just can't run jobs without its being there.
