    DataStage accessing remote 64-bit Universe File - failure

    Has anyone used DataStage to access a remote 64-bit universe file? We're testing out this scenario, and using UV/Net, connecting to Universe 9.6 and when we hit a record with a size larger than the separation size of the file, it does an immediate disconnect or lockup. Any light shed on this...

    How to judge the value which I get from database is null?

    another good thing to do is the following: if Len(Trim(&quot;^&quot; & recordSet(&quot;name&quot;))) < 1 Then response.write &quot;no name&quot; else response.write recordSet(&quot;name&quot;) end if this will check for a string containing only spaces, as well as nulls.

    how to shrink the size of a logfile?

    If SQL Server 7.0, it can sometimes be buggy. It may help to sp_detach_db the database, rename the log file (windows explorer), then sp_attach_db the database, specifying only the name of the data file. It will then automatically create a blank log file (small size) for you.

    Saving Diagram in electronic format?

    Thanks - but I've already been down both of those roads. I know Alt-PrintScreen does a decent job, but what if all of the diagram doesn't fit on the screen, but prints to fit in a page - Then you have to take multiple print-screens and put them together. As for Acrobat - I've been looking for...
