Hi All

I'm calling a DataStage job from a command prompt, or a scripting language, as below:

dsjob -server 10.242.243.15 -user 192297075 -password ****** -run DEV_ZGP0GSAS sample

How will the calling program know whether it was a success or failure? Will this call return any value to the calling program

Thanks indvance

add in a -jobstatus before the -run.
This will return the jobstatus you see in the director.

Add the -wait option to force the dsjob program to wait for the job to finish, or, go into a loop periodically checking the status yourself until you see that the job has finished.
