Error description
If a job contains a timestamp column with microseconds extended property enabled for input and output column of a transformer stage and DSJobStartTimestamp macro is used in the derivation to populate the output value then microseconds are being dropped from the output. The dropped microseconds starts occuring only after the first use of DSJobStartTimestamp function to populate the timestamp column.
Local fix
Create a derivation with DSJobStartTimestamp macro that ensures microseconds are assigned to the output value e.g. StringToTimestamp(DSJobStartTimestamp:'.000000', "%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss.6")
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: DS 8.5 **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A programming error overwrites output timestamp columns internal microseconds field with input column timestamp field. When input timestamp data doesn't have microseconds (e.g. DSJobStartTimeStamp macro) then the output column's microseconds is disabled for all the records starting from this record. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply the patch. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Code fix to ensure that the microseconds is retained if microseconds is requested in output field.
