Hi Arnd/Kumar s, This is urgent fror me.Thats why i said asap. Thanks, sudhakar You can sign up with your support provider for premium service. Here we don't do "urgent" or "asap"; we are all volunteers who post as and when we can, without pay. If you need "urgent" you have to pay; that's how the r...

Can you sketch out the logic of what you want to do a little more completely? As if it were a specification for a new (or offshore) developer.

That's because the -print option was left off the find command. Therefore, whatever find finds is discarded. Therefore it can never match Arg1. Therefore Ans is always zero.

Are you ensuring that the file names are different? You are not permitted (by the operating system) to have two processes write to one file at the same time.

Can the MVS edition of DataStage be installed on unix platform or does it require the MVS operating system only ? The so-called "EE MVS edition" only runs on the same platforms as EE, that is, UNIX (including Linux and USS) or Windows. When jobs are compiled COBOL and JCL are generated; these must ...

Start them at the same time, but with different invocation IDs. An invocation ID may be any string. The file name would need to be a job parameter, which would obviously have a different value in each invocation. However, if the files are not identical in record layout, multi-instance jobs are not t...

I'm not against reinventing the wheel (actually that's not true), but it's best if you have some experience before you do that, otherwise you'll end up with a triangular shaped rock.

Have you looked at the SDK routines UtilityHashLookup and UtilityRunJob?

(1) No.
(2) This is "detect and escalate", not "promote".

Keep in mind the provenance of the product; it was originally a mainframe-based application (that's why there were still eight character limits all over the place in version 6.0). You still can not create new stage types, and will not be able to do so under Hawk. There is a specific manual for the l...

The "back tick" method for using the output from one command is simply not available in a cmd shell (DOS). About all you could do is to echo the first part of the command into a BAT file, type your parameter file appending to that file, then echo the remainder of the command appending to that file. ...

Yes.

You, too, can have it by the simple expedient of searching the forum.

It may be more efficient to use both phantom and &PH& and perform a search for all terms.

This probably should have been a new thread.

No. The only customization possible in QualityStage is the ability to create your own rule sets (and associated activities such as overrides, etc.). What are you seeking to achieve? It may be that QualityStage is not the appropriate tool. There is an API for creating DataStage stages - indeed, all s...

What's wrong with actually supplying the high date value? It would be stored the same way!

Single-column hashed files are a great idea if all they have to be used for is to check for existence. Yes you can create them, and it is best practice to do so.

No, echo does that.
