In Data Stage, if you need to update a record with a composite natural key that does not exist in the target, you can use the UPDATE_MATCH statement. This allows you to match on multiple columns and perform updates even when the natural key is not present exactly as it was previously. Here's an example:

Assuming your source dataset has a composite natural key (Column1, Column2) and target dataset has the same structure.

```sql
UPDATE_MATCH TargetDataset
SET
Column1 = SourceDataset.Column1,
Column2 = SourceDataset.Column2,
OtherColumns = SourceDataset.OtherColumns
FROM SourceDataset
WHERE Column1 = TargetDataset.Column1 AND Column2 = TargetDataset.Column2;
```
This statement will match records based on the composite natural key and update them if they exist in the target dataset.

create a job that splits the data in the Jobs.txt file into four output files. You will direct the data to the different output files using constraints. • Job name: JobLevels • Source file: Jobs.txt • Target file 1: LowLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 0 and 25 inclusive. − Same column types and headings as Jobs.txt. − Include column names in the first line of the output file. − Job description column should be preceded by the string “Job Title:” and embedded within square brackets. For example, if the job description is “Designer”, the derived value is: “Job Title: [Designer]”. • Target file 2: MidLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 26 and 100 inclusive. − Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Target file 3: HighLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 101 and 500 inclusive. − Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Rejects file: JobRejects.txt − min_lvl is out of range, i.e., below 0 or above 500. − This file has only two columns: job_id and reject_desc. − reject_desc is a variable-length text field, maximum length 100. It should contain a string of the form: “Level out of range: ”, where is the value in the min_lvl field. My Question is how do you write the stage variable for reject rows.
