Write them out with linefeeds in place of the semi-colons so they end up as separate records.

I don't have access to that version, but I don't believe so. Hopefully someone will confirm one way or the other.

Not sure what there is to explain. Failed UNIX processes that crash 'core dump' and create a 'core' file that people with the right tools can use to analyze the crash. Google for 'core dump' for more information.

You cannot.

auto purge setting will only work for new jobs that have auto-purge enabled before they are created. For existing jobs you can export/import them to enable auto purge setting. Hardly. You just need to enable it for them. One at a time, unfortunately, but there's absolutely no need to export/import....

Immediate Purge is the default from the Director. What matters is if, in the Auto Purge section, the Enabled for this job option is checked. Doesn't matter if it is greyed out when you look, it only becomes active (changeable) what you click the Auto-Purge radio button.

Write it to something... simpler, like a flat file. Then you have many more options re: retrieval. For example, you could cat the value, capture that in a Sequence job and then pass that output easily to any downstream job parameter.

You might want to expand on that a little, seeing as how you cannot have a parameter value that references another parameter.

We have a single generic script that launches jobs (via 'dsjob' of course) that our Enterprise Scheduler Control-M uses for all DataStage jobs. Pretty sure a couple of examples have been posted here in the past, some more complex than others, that a search for dsjob should turn up. If you can weed t...

FileName_#FILE_TIMESTAMP#.txt

Does that help?

If you had just made the changes manually rather then looking for an 'easier' way, you probably would have been done by now.

Ah... lost me for a second. Uriah Heep. D'oh. I really don't understand why people feel the need to hand-type error messages into a post. That introduces errors / ommissions / typos and makes searching for their 'error' difficult if not impossible. Please people, copy and paste. Copy. Paste.

Clarify exactly what trigger(s) you have coming from the Routine Activity you are having this issue with and where they go.

Suggest you actually answer the question I posted.
