The value is "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply patch: patch_JR34101v2_client_windows_8100. This change is included in 8.1 Fix Pack 1. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Problem is caused by a parameter being defined for a job where its prompt text is more than 255 characters long. This was allowed in DataStage 7.5. The fix is to change the way parameter prompts are stored at 8.1so that they will not hit the 255 string limit. Users will not see this change, other than that the DSX should now import successfully.
Temporary fix
