How to handle Date convertions in Datastage? Convert a mm/dd/yyyy format to yyyy-dd-mm? 

We use a) "Iconv" function - Internal Convertion.
b) "Oconv" function - External Convertion.

Function to convert mm/dd/yyyy format to yyyy-dd-mm is
Oconv(Iconv(Filedname,"D/MDY[2,2,4]"),"D-MDY[2,2,4]")

I will explain how to Convert a mm/dd/yyyy format to yyyy-dd-mm
Below is the format

Oconv(Iconv(Filedname D/MDY[2 2 4] ) D-YDM[4 2 2] )

here first Iconv(Filedname D/MDY[2 2 4] ) will convert our given date in the internal format

later  Oconv( Inter_date_format D-YDM[4 2 2] ) will convert our internal date format to required yyyy-dd-mm...

There are two types of hash file

1. modulus hash file- file size increases randomly
2. splitting hash file-file size decreases randomly
