Global considerations

This section describes the following global considerations that apply to all three IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® job topologies.

Macros and BASIC functions
Within an IBM InfoSphere DataStage job that is exposed as a service, you can include the following macros and BASIC functions.
After-stage routines
When an IBM InfoSphere DataStage job has an ISD Input stage, after-stage routines run only when the job is disabled.
Branching in stage flow
In an IBM InfoSphere DataStage job, the stage that is directly upstream of an ISD Output stage can split its output between the ISD Output stage and another stage.
