Mercator (Datastage TX) is what it is: a very powerful, very flexible, very feature-filled.... very expensive, very difficult-to-master, very-unusable-except-for-programmer-types tool. perl is what it is: inexpensive, feature-filled, powerful.... (IMNSHO) overly geeky. Perl is ubiquitious. Mercator ain't. Choose your poison. MCM .
