Troubleshooting
Problem
IBM® InfoSphere™ DataStage®: when using unicode columns in a parallel Build stage (BuildOp) table definition, use NCHAR type instead of CHAR with the Unicode extension.
Symptom
If you specify a Char/VarChar column and select the Unicode extension in a table definition used by a BuildOp stage, you receive a ustring to string conversion warning.
Moreover, a design-time issue is observed that Unicode flag is lost in the Output of BuildOp stage.
