Hi all,

I'm trying to output data into a sequential file. Problem is, some or most of the fields in the file are garbage. I've tried setting all values to "0" but still gives me the same thing. However, when I output it to a dataset, everything looks ok. Anybody encountered something like this before?

TIA.

Hi,

Can you give some example of the output data ?? Also check the DataStage parameter APT_STRING_PADCHAR.

Hi,

Please give the data that you expect. I want to compare it.

record should be something like:

"Agent", "Agent", "Regular", "GG042", "E3", ">64", "25-36 months", "Male"

Now I'm thinking that because of this I'm having some records being rejected when passing thru a lookup stage.
