That's why I always name job parameters beginning with "jp" - it makes it obvious in expressions and routines what they are. Next question. Do you need to understand the shell script, to understand the DataStage BASIC code, or to get something working that is not producing the expected res...

You can't call the while command by itself in a call to DSExecute. You would have to build the enti...
