Hey, just because you can't find something doesn't mean it isn't there. Just ask my wife.

Here's an example from my dsenv, adapt as appropriate:

Yes, because that is Ray's classic answer to the question as asked. How to get Directory information in a file? Select print to file... and you beat him to it.

Someone is channeling Ray.

I'm wondering something and I'll certainly build some kind of a test harness to check for myself, but I was wondering if anyone already knew... Multi-instance jobs that stash data in their User Status area: does each Invocation ID store a value unique to them or (since there is only one job) is it a...

Ok. Kris asked about five questions and you answered... one.

So... is it still one job?

Don't worry about it, this site is all about troubling people for help on problems. It's just frustrating me that something that should be fairly simple is not getting solved. Obviously either I'm overlooking something or there is a critical piece of information that you don't know is critical and h...

I've already noted the purpose of the stage - to call a TX map from inside a Server job. I also believe someone can install the stage without owning TX but you certainly can't use it without owning it as well. Do you own the product? If so, your specific questions about the TX product should either ...

I have created a paralell job which takes sequential file, XML Output and another Sequential file for storing the output. A couple of points. Does it need to be a parallel job for what you are doing? Secondly, get rid of the 'sequential file for storing the output', it isn't needed. The XML Output ...

This continues to make absolutely no sense to me. Perhaps you should post a clear explanation of your job design, what comes in and what should go out - and what you mean by 'parsing' the XML. Typically, you would read the file into the job using the Folder stage and it would be 'parsed' by an XML I...

Nice closing quote from the article:

So, my clear and certain advice to developers is not to use multi-valued fields. They have nothing to offer us except potential pain.

That too.

Unless they've changed dsenv to add set -a (allexport) to the file, it sets the export to happen automatically whenever a variable is assigned a value.

anyway i just installed the sybase open client, but how do i set SYBASE and SYBASE_OCS is that to make sybase work? Same as you are doing for Oracle, in the dsenv file. SYSBASE is like ORACLE_HOME and SYBASE_OCS get the version number, I believe. All of this is documented by the way, both in the Pl...

Right, so you can use it to process multiple files in a directory. However, the 'feed the whole file as a single field to XML' part isn't there nor I believe the ability to pull a list of filenames. Is that correct?

You may need to 'roll your own' for that particular functionality if you need it.

That's true... so as Vincent said - in a way.
