Hi,
Under Data Stage 6 we used the Sequential File stage to read compressed flat files. We set the option Filter to "gunzip -c" and everything ran fairly well.
Under Data Stage 7 the option Filter is not there anymore. Does anyone has a clue on how to read compressed flat files ?
Thanks
Pierre
PS Using a script (Wrap or routine) to uncompress a file before reading it with Data Stage does not appear to be a good solution to me.

No more 'filter' option in 7.0? That's not so good. I can't think of any way to do it besides gunzipping the data outside of the PX job...
If you end up asking the Ascential folks what to do and they give you a good answer, please post the solution here..

Re: Compressed Sequential File
the solution is to use the External Source in v7
