    Question about using Raw Disks and Size limits

    Hi Uwe, It has always been my experience that IDS will perform better utilising raw disks and I believe that the installation guide recommends raw disk as well (although I could be wrong on that point). As for the maximum chunk size, according to the following page from IBMs' website with IDS...

    Insert text at beg of line & remove leading zeroes from a field

    Hi again, Just to fill you all in on the progress with the above.... marsd solution worked for me whilst I was getting data files for locations with a 3 character code (meaning there is one 0 to strip out prior to insert into a table). However once I starting getting files for locations with a...
