Compiling a DataStage job containing a transformer results in many errors with text "checking composite operator".

Troubleshooting


Problem

DataStage jobs containing a transformer stage call an external C compiler during DataStage job compile. Under some conditions, the compile may fail with a large number of composite operator errors similar to the ones below: ##E IIS-DSEE-TBLD-00076 15:20:18(000) Error when checking composite operator: Subprocess command failed with exit status 256. ##W IIS-DSEE-TFTM-00012 15:20:18(002) Error when checking composite operator: The number of reject datasets "0" iless than the number of input datasets "1". ##W IIS-DSEE-TBLD-00000 15:20:18(007) Error when checking composite operator: Output from subprocess: Error 8: "/usr/include/machine/sys/_types.h", line 65 # Invalid type specifier combination in declaration: "short double".
